I would: This may represent a displaced ovary that traveled down the wrong path (hernia) or it could also be a simple lymph node or growth. If an ovary it would eventually need to be re-positioned, if a growth or node it may need other work. Kids can cry for diaper changes just because, so I wouldn't assume it causes pain.
