It's not a hernia

Finally got Hernia to Radiology this morning, and nah - it's not an inguinal hernia. There is a "small amount of movement through the canal", but nothing to cause any concern.

I spent about 20 minutes doing breathe-push-relax as the radiologist explored my nether regions with the ultrasound. Quite interesting watching my innards on the screen. "Have you had children?" she'd asked. No. "Well, just pretend you're giving birth." hah! What does she tell the blokes, I wonder. Then she called in a colleague for a second opinion, and I got to do the breathe-push-relax thing all over again. Most fun. Most inconclusive. But another possibility ruled out.

Hmm, as another who hasn't had any children, my knowledge of pretending would be gleaned from TV depictions ~ so I guess the guys would be in a similar position!

Good news/Bad news about the hernia. I hate inconclusive results more than anything, but hopefully it is nothing serious, and this can be confirmed soon.
