lump in tummy, possible hernia

Hi
Had DS, aged 3, at the sonographers this morning for a ultrasound on his tummy.

About 10 days ago we noticed a lump/swollen area above his groin, right next to his little doodle. it gets worse in the arvos and even has quiet a sizeable, palable lump.

doc sent him for a scan today and the area just shows as a large black mass.

we see the doc again next week, hopefully Monday but just wanted to hear from anyone whose child had a hernia.

the doc seems to think that's what it could be, so what was the treatment? recovery? etc?
