Varicocele Veins

Hi, my husband and i have been TTC for a little over 2 years now and after a year we noticed he had a stingy lump in his left testicle so we went to a doctor and they didnt do any testing and just said it was a hydrocele and it will go away on its own. but after 6 months went by we went to a different doctor who did proper testing and told us they were varicocele vein. By the time we were able to get the proper testing he had now had some in his right testicle. He finally had surgery May 2017. Has anyone had this problem and were you able to conceive on your own??
