When a testicle gets twisted around it is called testicular torsion. It is an excruciatingly painful condition and there are two ways to treat it.
The most common and most successful way is through surgery. It is quick and minimally invasive and can cure torsion 100% of the time. The other less common way is to try to manually untwist it. This oftentimes doesn't work and has to be done without anesthesia since the only indicator that the testicle is turned the correct way is a decrease in pain.
Testicular torsion is a medical emergency, since the testicle does not live very long with its blood supply compromised.

Which organs in your lower abdomen can twist?
The most common organ in the lower abdomen to get twisted is probably the ovaries and the testicles. In a woman, ovarian cysts can cause the ovary to twist, which typically causes severe pain. In males, trauma or rapid growth in puberty can cause the testicle ( more accurately, the spermatic cord, which supports the testicle) to become twisted. This usually causes severe pain and sometimes swelling and vomiting. Both of these conditions require emergency surgery, or else the blood supply will get cut off and the tissue in those organs will die. Sometimes the intestines can get twisted, although this is more common in children, and is called intusseception.
