I recently noticed a swelling in one of my groins. The swelling is always there when I stand but disappears when I lie down. Is this a hernia? Can I use some medications to cure it since I am afraid of an operation?

Yes, this looks like a hernia. Once diagnosed by a competent doctor, there is no place for medications. You will need to have surgery before it gets complicated.
