Hello ma'am and welcome.
A particular type of hernia can cause pain around the testicle and penis region as well. Exercise (mainly lifting exercises) do not help a hernia and can even cause severe aggravation of the condition.
It would be best to visit the doctor with the new development, as your doctor has also asked to keep the condition well monitored.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
