Testical pain

I recently had a bowel movement and experience some testical pain, now after every bowel movement the pain seem to be getting worse to my testicals and below my stomach area, could this be a hernia?

A hernia was the first thing that came into my mind as well. You can obtain a physical exam where your personal physician or surgeon can evaluate this.
Image tests to confirm unclear results would be a CT scan or ultrasound.
If there is no evidence of a hernia, you can consider a scrotal ultrasound to determine if there are any testicular masses, torsion, or cysts to worry about.
These options can be discussd with your personal physician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
