Small lump on left side above testicles in sac. Not painful only on left side. Small pea shaped.
Brief Answer:
Varicocele to be ruled out
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Small painless lump in the scrotal sac,above testes is usually caused by a varicocele,which is formed by dilated and tortuous venous channels.This is more common on the left side.
Another possibilities are a small epididymal cyst or a spermatocele.
Correct diagnosis can be made by a local examination,with addition of an ultrasound if needed.All these conditions are benign,and can be treated by minor surgical procedure under local anesthesia.
A general surgeon or urosurgeon can guide you further.
Hope I have answered your query.

Wishing you good health.
Thank you.
