What happens if you were to get surgery for a hernia but you still don't feel pain?

I'm not sure if I have one or not on my groin (I'm a female).

First, do an US then advance to CT scan.
Well as a rule unless it's a large hernia we do not fix it unless it is painful. You should see your provider about it because if it is a certain type of hernia it needs to be repaired.
