I had a hernia a few years ago but seems it was different from what you are describing. With mine there was no question it was a hernia.
I had a tear in my abdomen wall about 2 inches up and an inch right of my wang. It got to the point when I would stand up it looked like a golf ball was protuding through my abdomen.
If was somewhat painful but almost more of an annoyance like someone else said. I was still able to do most things but had to be careful lifting anything too heavy.
The worst part was I went to my doctor for diagnosis and she had to send me to a specialist. That took about 5 months to get in to see him. He took one look at it and said yep it's a hernia and booked me for surgery, that took about 5 months as well. Just to get it all fixed took almost a year, so I would reccomend getting into a doctor right away if you want to get it taken care of.
After the surgery things were fine within a couple weeks.
