About when I turned 13 I had surgery for a hernia in my groin.  They
told me I could have gotten it at birth because it was quite large. 
When I turned 18 and was getting ready for college, one doctor noted a
weakness in my right side of the groin.  Now I am 20, and I'm writing
because I feel a similar discomfort in my groin, right side.  It feels
like a dull pain, mild.  Also, I'm sorry to be graphic, but my
testicles seem to hang very low.  They've always done this, but I
never was told if the two were connected.  Do I have another hernia? 
If not, what could this pain be?  Just a cramp?

One other thing, I think it should be noted I lift heavy weights
fairly regularly, but have been doing so for years.

dave...

The next time you experience the discomfort, or even now, if you
like, stand with your knees bent, bend over, make a fist with your
left hand, such that the thumb is on the outside, with the top of
the thumb at the knuckle of the index finger. Grasp that fist with
the right hand, so that the fingers are outside of the knuckles, 
and the thumb is parallel to that of the other hand. Now place 
the two-handed fist between your knees, and squeeze your knees
together, hard. You may feel or hear a slight pop or crackle at
the top inside of your thigh, on both sides, or either side.

This release may or may not provide some immediate relief for
the discomfort you describe.

Let me know...

Well I felt the pain recently but it was much milder.  I tried the
procedure you told me and I didnt feel any popping or crackling, nor
did it really help.  Sorry, I hope I'm not being too broad... I think
I should just see a doctor.

Go see a doctor, preferably when you're experiencing the discomfort. 
If you have a hernia, it's better to get it repaired electively than
to need emergency surgery if/when it gets strangulated (the blood
supply gets cut off to the intestine).

I agree. It certainly can't hurt to see a doctor.
