What Causes Small Lump On The Inner Part Of The Right Knee?

I have a small lump on the inner part of my right knee. It is painful to the touch but it does not bother me in everyday life unless it is rubbed against. It is probably a vascular issue. The lump is real small but noticeable if one looks at it. I have had it for a few years but it is getting worse. Today I went swimming and I felt it when I hit the water. Any idea what kind of procedure this is to remove this. Background. I am a male 38 years old

HI,Welcome to HCM.
Dear you seems to suffer from-
Varicose Veins of Right Saphenous system of veins.You need to check up with your doctor to find out if it is from Long Saphenous / or from Short Saphenous Venous System of Right leg.
Treatment-
EVLT-Endovenous laser Treatment with polyvinyl foam balls or springs emboization -is the best Current treatment.
For this treatment you first have to check with Surgeon,who would assess for the Primary diagnosis and would refer you to-
Vascular-Venous Super-Specialist Surgeon with EVLT facility.
In my opinion you seem to have Short Saphenous Varicose Veins,as it is common around the knee.
Hope this would help you to plan your treatment with your doctor as need be.
