Hello and welcome, Your anxiety is fair. Your presentation does resemble that of a hernia and if a surgeon has examined you, then he would be able to make a clear diagnosis of the condition. An abdominal and pelvic ultrasound can also help greatly in establishing the diagnosis. In case the ultrasound does not return with conclusive results and a hernia has been ruled out, you could request your doctor to conduct and ultrasound of the testicles. This is a simple and safe method, which not only helps to show a lump (if present) in the testes, but also to view presence of fluid within the lump, or a solid lump. I am sure there is nothing to worry about and your visit to your doctor will be a relieving one. For the time being, do not strain or stress. Just relax. Wishing you good health.
