It is treated by removal of the affected testicle. It is called an orchiectomy. You may or may not need chemo therapy too.

Some time after surgery you can be fitted with a prosthetic testicle. It is a silicone ball matched to your other testicle and implanted in your scrotum.
edit: Well surgery is surgery. There will be some discomfort. They do have pain medication though.
