A varicocele doesn't decrease semen per se, but it does decrease sperm count, and if left long enough can predispose to testicular cancer. When a person has a varicocele their testicles are kept at too high a temperature and this is not good for the sperm or the testicles.

What is the average amount of semen production?

In a one ejaculation there could be anywhere in between 40-600 million sperm. Averaging half a teaspoon. Assuming you are asking about human semen, production ends at death, so the amount of semen production for any one man could be quite large. An average ejaculation is said to produce about 2 ml of semen. Semen is a combination of sperm and fluids produced in the prostate and urinary tract to move the sperm into the vagina. Sperm production can decrease with age due to lessening of testosterone, and the amount of fluids can also deteriorate with age. The prostate starts having problems. I really have no idea how someone came up with the "average" volume of ejaculate. The idea of "sampling" a sufficiently large number of men ejaculating for scientific purposes boggles my mind.

Does a varicocele go away on its own or do you need some kind of treatment and do you go to the hospital or your family doctor for diagnosis?

No, a varicocele will not go away without treatment. Surgery is recommended if it is painful or causing infertility. Any doctor can order a semen-analysis to see if it is affecting your fertility. They typically feel like "a bag of worms" and only a urologist or a general surgeon with experience in this area should do the surgery.
