I totally get the apprehension on going for medical advice now. I have a hernia that is slowly growing, Yes, see the doctor when it balances out to be safe, But in the meantime you can take action to improve seat comfort. Seats with cutouts or full length grooves can help a lot. I use both and have them on all my bikes. But cutout and grooved seat are just like all the others, the exact fit to you matters a lot. So does the exact placement of the seat.

On any new seat, I go for rides with all the wrenches for adjusting seat height, tilt and fore and aft position. For me, tilt is critical. The clicks between settings on many posts is far too crude for me to be able to dial in comfort. Now the curse of many seatposts, especially those with just one clamp bolt, is that when you loosen the bolt, all reference is lost and you are starting from scratch every time. I far prefer the 2-bolt seatposts with one in front and one in back. With those, you can loosen the rear bolt, then either simply slide the seat to a new fore and aft position or tweak the forward screw to adjust the tilt, then re-tighten the rear. Easily done accurately and repeatably on a ride. Two makers who have excellent 2-bolt seatposts are Nitto and Thompson. (And a framebuilder can make you a custom post using the excellent Thompson hardware which they sell for just that purpose.)

So, yes, see the doctor when safe. But give yourself (and the doctor) the benefit of a seat that isn't making things worse. (You can look at the new seat and perhaps post as being some additional out of pocket medical expense. Really not a huge burden in that light.)
