I really appreciate your concern, if the clinical examination does not judge what is it then you will have to go for ultrasonography test. In absence of symptom it may be nonspecific one, still it has to be investigated, or else you can wait for some time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Akhtarhusain
