Can Symptoms Of Inguinal Hernia Related To Groin Pull?

I have all the symptoms of an Inguinal hernia,(sore groin, inner thigh pain when running, and sometimes testicular pain) but no bulge. The doctor said it was not a hernia, but a hamstring pull, And gave me anti-inflammatory drugs, could this be true? Or maybe a groin pull instead?

Hello
Thanks for query .

Pain in groin ,inner thigh ,and testicle could be either Inguinal Hernia or Epididymitis

You needs to be confirmed by clinical examination by a qualified General Surgeon and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis .
1) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen and pelvis
2) Ultrasound Scanning of scrotum.

In the mean while continue taking anti inflammatory drugs prescribed by your family physician .

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
