  Is this before or after surgery? What type of surgery if after? What type of hernia and where is the bulge located? Does the pain come randomly or is it constant? Does an activity cause the pain, or relieve the pain?

  If it’s an inguinal hernia, perhaps you’re feeling pain at the site of the internal ring? Or maybe it could be because the three major groin nerves extend from the spinal cord, and wrap around to the front of the body and down the inguinal region to the testicle, thigh, pubic area, etc? Some people report pain elsewhere as well, it seems to vary depending on the individual and perhaps their anatomy.

  Nerves are strange in that pain can travel up and down their pathway causing referred pain to elsewhere. There are many comments on these forums (and elsewhere) of referred pain from hernias and after hernia surgeries, maybe because the groin region is highly innervated.
