Hello

Since the MRI shows the presence of an infection in the groin area so the right treatment is an antibiotherapy.
For the hernia there are a number of symptoms which mainly is the existence of a bulge being more visible by effort and reduced by hand and it's not that painful unless if it's strangulated, Unlike the infection, which is painful with redness of the skin and increasing of the skin temperature over the area and sometimes a fever.

I suggest that you trust the doctors and continue the treatment to prevent any further complication.

Hope I answered your question
Best regards
Dr. Noor Farid
