Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: you can go for surgery of varicose veins if problem is severe

Explanation: Varicose veins are dilated and tortuous veins in the scrotum(pampiniform plexus). So, this causes swelling and bag of worm feeling of scrotum when touched. This may increase the temperature of the testicular enviroment and cause infertility.
So, your husband has been adviced medications for this. If the problem is mild and dragging pain is not a problem day to day basis, you need not go for surgery. If it is causing severe problem and infertlity you can consult your doctor for surgery.
Good luck
