Question:

Can you untwist a twisted testicle?

Answer:

Not easily because you don’t know which way is the proper way to untwist it and you don’t know how far it needs to turn to become untwisted. Doctors typically have to perform minor surgery to get a testicle back into its proper position and to add sutures to help prevent the testicle from twisting again.
