Glad to hear it. I did the same thing about 7 years ago (September, 2008) with this strange, painless bulge below my stomach right next to my...well...you know what's beneath a man's stomach!

Long story short, I let it go thinking it would eventually go away. Then about 7 months later, the most agonizing pain I've ever felt in my life started. Turns out the bulge was a full blown inguinal hernia roughly the size of a Summer sausage.

After seeing my doctor, a urologist, then a hernia surgeon, I had to wait about a month and a half for an available appointment (late June, 2009) for surgery. Thankfully, it was successful.

Incidentally, I did find out that the first 2-4 days recovery from hernia surgery is actually the most agonizing pain I've ever felt in my life.

Moral of the story: Don't just assume things will heal on their own.
