Husband wants to wait for “one year mark” with varicocele surgery

So we are in the 9th month of unsuccesful trying.
In february I went to my OBYN to ask for tests to see if the problem is from my side.
Doc assured that ever since I had gone to his practice, things looked good, my reproductive organs are healthy and are doing what they should. So he insisted he won’t make me have further tests until I get an SA result.
A month goes by, we get the SA, counts are amazing but morphology is 0, and motility is 40%, from which progressive motility is 10%. The urulogist to my husband there’s nothing to worry about, let’s have a physical exam a month later. It happened, and turned out he has varicocele.

Now here I have to add, I already kinda knew that it’s going to be this one, I had googled and chatgptd everything by then… The urologist told him to have an other SA in a month, which is going to happen in like two weeks, but he also told that we should try until the 1 year mark and if nothing happens, my husband can try for surgery.
( his doctor is a public health worker, so as I see, they don’t really care about anything -like im 33 and wanted more than one children before 35 which is absolutely not going to happen-,but the one year mark)

I honestly don’t understand why he accepts to wait til September to even think about surgery. He says that the surgery might lead to complications like his sperm duct being cut…it’s such bananas to say, from my understanding it’s a routine procedure and to be honest, nothing is going to change in his next SA with his condition, he should know that.
So I ask you people to help me process that why on earth would he want to lose another 3-4 months, despite the fact that he brought up to try for a baby in the first place and he wants it so much too..
