7 week old baby with suspected hernia?? any one else in this situation?

hi was wondering if any one else has a baby so young with an hernia??
while changing his nappy tonight i noticed a huge lump popping out of his side just at the side of his testicales, so rushed him to a&e and been told i have to go see someone tuesday as it looks like an hernia, and they may operate if needed really worried now as hes so young any advise would be appreciated
