Anatomy, yes: What you are describing is likely due to compression of the L common iliac vein by the R common iliac artery referred to as May-Thurner syndrome. There can be an increased risk of blood clot formation on the left due to poor drainage of the veins in the leg. Conversely, if there are no other risk factors you may be just fine. If treatment is deemed necessary, a stent can be placed.
