Cyst on testicle

I am a 51-yr-old male. At age 25, a urologist discovered a cyst
on my left testicle. He told me not to worry about it and
recommend that I have no treatment. Until recently, I have had no
problems, but now the cyst feels larger. In particular, my scrotum
is always tight (it is not large to begin with), and I have a
feeling of pressure when I have an erection (no pain). Should I
be concerned about the cyst (apart from the discomfort)? What
treatment(s) are there to reduce the pressure, and how long would
such treatments last?
