I had multiple epididymal cysts on my left side about three years ago, and they were removed. However, Im noticing that the cysts seem to have come back again. There are multiple cysts now, with the largest being around 3x2 cm. There's no pain, but its slightly uncomfortable. Should I be concerned about this recurrence? What would be the next steps to manage or treat it?
