The fact that is is left sided is reassuring to some extent. Due to the way our veins drain, most of the time they occur on the left side. When they occur on the right we get a little more worried and have to investigate these cases more. You should consult both a urologist and an interventional radiologist as they both can educate you and offer you different options.
