Hernia: It sure still sounds like a hernia. The quality of ultrasound varies tremendously based on the equipment and also the technician, I would not hesitate to get a second opinion. Having a hernia is very often a clinical diagnosis, if there is any question a ct scan can be helpful.

Hernia surgery: Only the team who did the surgery on YOU can advise. Ask them what has been their usual recovery time if men like you they have operated on.

You should see your urologist again. That symptom could be a manifestation of chronic pelvic pain syndrome and chronic prostatitis can be the cause.
