“Is this a hernia or fluid or infection? What is going on?”
I've had different doctors all say different things. I'm getting aggravated because now it's probably too late to worry about having kids. It started 9 weeks ago when I got hit by a basketball. The right testicle started swelling. 10 days later it started swelling on the outside of the testicle and the area around it and pain in my lower abdomen. Then it started to where no semen will come out and the base of the penis is swollen at times and feels like a lot of pressure right there. Also twists at times. The surgeon says not a hernia, nobody seems to know...but obviously, there's a problem

No one can just look at this and say that it is definitely a hernia or not. A CT scan and/or a testicular ultrasound should be able to render the answer that question. Since it started after a trauma, then it is more likely a fluid collection. However, the issues with the back up of semen is VERY concerning. You should make an appointment with a urologist for this ASAP.
You need an US of the scrotum. Please consult a Urologist.
