You can suspect that you have a hernia when you develop a lump on your groin, or abdomen area. The lump can have a range of extreme to no pain. You can find more information here: emedicinehealth.com/hernia/page3_em.htm#....
All newly discovered hernias or symptoms that suggest you might have a hernia should prompt a visit to the doctor. Hernias, even those that ache, if they are not tender and easy to reduce (push back into the abdomen), are not necessarily surgical emergencies, but all have the potential to become serious. Referral to a surgeon should generally be made so that the need for surgery can be established and the procedure can be performed as an elective surgery and avoid the risk of emergency surgery should your hernia become irreducible or strangulated.
If you find a new, painful, tender, and irreducible lump, it's possible you may have an irreducible hernia, and you should have it checked in an emergency setting. If you already have a hernia and it suddenly becomes painful, tender, and irreducible, you should also go to the emergency department. Strangulation (cut off blood supply) of intestine within the hernia sac can lead to gangrenous (dead) bowel in as little as six hours.
Not all irreducible hernias are strangulated, but they need to be evaluated. In general, all hernias should be repaired unless severe preexisting medical conditions make surgery unsafe. The possible exception to this is a hernia with a large opening.
Trusses and surgical belts or bindings may be helpful in holding back the protrusion of selected hernias when surgery is not possible or must be delayed. However, they should never be used in the case of femoral hernias. Avoid activities that increase intra-abdominal pressure (lifting, coughing, or straining) that may cause the hernia to increase in size.
Treatment of a hernia depends on whether it is reducible or irreducible and possibly strangulated.?In general, all hernias should be repaired to avoid the possibility of future intestinal strangulation.?If you have preexisting medical conditions that would make surgery unsafe, your doctor may not repair your hernia but will watch it closely.? Rarely, your doctor may advise against surgery because of the special condition of your hernia.?Some hernias have or develop very large openings in the abdominal wall, and closing the opening is complicated because of its large size.?These kinds of hernias may be treated without surgery, perhaps using abdominal binders.? Some doctors feel that the hernias with large openings have a very low risk of strangulation.?The treatment of every hernia is individualized, and a discussion of the risks and benefits of surgical versus nonsurgical management needs to take place.?All acutely irreducible hernias need emergency treatment because of the risk of strangulation.? An attempt to reduce (push back) the hernia will generally be made, often with medicine for pain and muscle relaxation.?If unsuccessful, emergency surgery is needed.?If successful, however, treatment depends on the length of the time that the hernia was irreducible.? If the intestinal contents of the hernia had the blood supply cut off, the development of dead (gangrenous) bowel is possible in as little as six hours.?In cases where the hernia has been strangulated for an extended time, surgery is performed to check whether the intestinal tissue has died and to repair the hernia.?In cases where the length of time that the hernia was irreducible was short and gangrenous bowel is not suspected, you may be discharged.
For the most part unless you look at your feces you will not know if you have a tapeworm. Signs of a tapeworm infestation are mucus or larvae in feces, weight loss, constant hunger, and a rumbling in your stomach. It is rare for a person to get a tapeworm.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
