I've had a tiny lump in my groin and I thought it was a hernia, I also got an ultra sound done

So I'm a 17 year old boy and I workout 6 days a week. So I was working out really hard one day , the next day I woke up in the middle of the night throwing up, there was also a sickness going around so it might have just been from that. The day after I was sick I was standing up and I realized I had a small painless bulge in my groin area. I started doing research and the only thing I could think of it being was a hernia because I lift a lot. So for the next few days I was stressing out a lot because I'm also in the process of joining the air force, and I can't have a hernia or else I could get disqualified.

So I decided to go to the doctor, he didn't know quite what it was but he said it could possibly be a hernia or a swollen lymph node, he said it felt more hernia like though. So he sent me to get an ultra sound done, but ordered an abdominal ultra sound instead of a groin ultra sound apparently, so the girl that did it decided to check my groin area as well as the abdominal area, but she spent more time on the abdominal area even though that wasn't where the bulge was. So I was waiting for about an hour for the results ad eventually the doctor called and said everything was fine and there was no hernia. The bulge also for some reason went away for about 4 days or so, I figured I was all good and wouldn't have to worry about it anymore so I just went on with life. Then it came back a few days later.

So now I'm here trying to figure out why I have a bulge in my groin, It's just really stressing me out because I have to go to boot camp in July. The bulge also disappears when I lay down. Someone help 😕
