My dad had that happen once when we were on vacation, far from a city--it called for emergency surgery. It was called testicular strangulation, but the web says it's properly called testicular torsion. The blood supply to the testicles is cut of, that's why it's excruciatingly painful and needs emergency surgery.

testicular torsion. This frequently requires emergency medical treatment. Do not ignore symptoms - go to the ER.
