I'm a bit concerned because a few days ago, I noticed some mild pain in my right testicle and now it's swollen. I've been taking painkillers, which helped a bit, but I've found a lump in my spermatic cord. Is this something I should be worried about? Should I see a urologist for this, or would a general surgeon be better?

I've been reading about venous leak and I'm really worried can it be treated with pills or is surgery the only option? I've heard leaving it untreated can mess with mental health like causing anxiety or low self-esteem and I'm not sure what to do

Yes, venous leakage (also known as veno-occlusive dysfunction) can often be treated without surgery. Several non-surgical options are available, including medication, endovascular procedures, and other interventions. The most effective treatment plan will depend on the individual's specific circumstances and the severity of their symptoms
