- Testicular torsion: If the spermatic cord becomes twisted, the testicle may not receive blood supply and may need to be removed to prevent further complications.
- Trauma or injury: Sometimes, a testicle may be damaged or lost due to an injury or trauma.
- Cancer: In cases where testicular cancer is present, the affected testicle may need to be removed as a treatment.
