Looking for changes: Your doctor probably wants to repeat the testicular ultrasound to determine if there has been any change in the size and consistency of the lump. You should always call your doctor with questions or concerns about the orders. Good luck.

Because you: Are there. The scrotal sac is in the same neighborhood as the groin so might as well look again. Note that hernias are a common cause of groin pain/lumps (sometimes extending to the scrotum) but a hernia may not be seen unless maneuvers such as scanning you standing up and/or exhaling against closed lips (valsalva maneuver) are performed. Ask the person doing the exam about these maneuvers.
