If I am correct in assuming so, I believe you are referring to testicular torsion, which is the twisting of the spermatic cord, which cuts off the blood supply to the testicle and surrounding structures within the scrotum. With no blood supply, the tissue DIES. Therefore, this situation is an emergency. Surgery is usually required and should be performed as soon as possible after symptoms begin. If surgery is performed within 6 hours, most testicles can be saved. If the blood supply is cut off to the testicle for a prolonged period of time, it may atrophy (shrink) and need to be surgically removed. Atrophy of the testicle may occur days-to-months after the torsion has been corrected. Severe infection of the testicle and scrotum is also possible if the blood flow is restricted for a prolonged period. Testicular torsion is a medical emergency that needs immediate treatment. Death of the testicle can occur in a few hours. Once the testicle is dead it must be removed to prevent gangrenous infection.

Is testicular cancer usually only found in one testicle?

It is very unlikely, though it is possible, for a man to only be born with one testicle. More commonly there were two testicles at birth and either one has been removed or that it is in the body but not located in the normal place. In conditions such as cryptorchidism, ectopic testicle, or retractile testicle, the testicle is present in the body, but may not be where you expect it. Testicles are not usually removed in the treatment of infection, but there are other reasons such as cancer, or testicular torsion where the testicle has to be removed for medical reasons. There are also a few conditions where a genetically male person will have rudimentary or non-functional testicles, such as Turner's syndrome or androgen insensitivity syndrome, but these conditions are fairly uncommon and the man would have several other physical attributes that would be abnormal than just the missing testicle. But in any particular man, if you think he only has one testicle is to ask him.
