Well...: It seems that your varicocele had an effect on your left testis. Sometimes it can recover some of it's size and function quite well. The wait period is about 6 months to a year. You are young.
You can be perfectly fertile with one functioning testicle.
Nothing to worry about

Varicocele rarely causes infertility. But if you remain concerned, your doctor can order a simple sperm count to check it out.
