When to see a surgeon urgently
Ignoring abdominal red flags can cost time — keep these signs in mind.
Severe abdominal pain, nonstop vomiting, a rigid/swollen belly, fever — get urgent assessment.
A stuck hernia (won’t reduce, severe pain, vomiting) is an emergency pathway.
If unsure, call/WhatsApp — asking early is safer than waiting wrongly.
If symptoms escalate at night or on holidays, do not wait for a ‘better’ time.
Urgent evaluation can prevent complications — put hesitation aside.
