Doctor's answer:
Is there a lump in the epididymis with a slight discomfort? Small nodules can be felt in the scrotum without pain or discomfort. It is generally common for these to be epididymal cysts. Small cysts do not require treatment as they do not cause compression or pain. However, it is best to undergo a scrotal ultrasound examination for further confirmation. Additionally, pay attention to your sitting posture to avoid squeezing your scrotum.
