General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi young man.
Thanks for your query.
Good research ! If the swelling is coming and going this can be hernia only; yet is it better to be seen by a Surgeon to determine the nature/ type and to rule out any other associated problem.

Yes, you need a Surgery. This is going to be the smallest of the surgeries. Just a herniotomy- At your age we just separate your sac and tie it at the neck . Nothing else is done.

So go ahead, this is just a day-care case . All the best .
