Cold compress is effective in treating epididymitis to some extent. While, drug treatment, like Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, is necessary.

1. Effects of Cold Compress on
Epididymitis

2. Epididymitis is a common disease of the male
genitourinary system. There are more than
90% of epididymitis caused by pathogenic
microorganism infection.

3. In our daily life, patients with
epididymitis often take cold
compress to relieve the pain.
Is it reliable?

4. Cold compress is a physical therapy that can
constrict blood vessels, reduce subcutaneous
bleeding, relieve pain and reduce swelling. At
first, a cold compress can reduce inflammation
and improve blood flow during acute injury.
This is usually done within 72 hours of injury
and will be effective with at least 15 minutes.

5. Secondly, patients in a febrile state can be
physically cooled by cold compress, which
is safer and does not need to use many
drugs, so it is likely to play a certain
protective role in liver and kidney
function.

6. Moreover, in the local area of soft tissue
injury, blood vessels can be constricted to
reduce the exudation of tissue fluid so as
to reduce the swelling of the injured local
tissue. The swelling subsides and the
exudation is reduced. And the pain of soft
tissue injury caused by swelling and injury
is also indirectly alleviated.

7. When the male testicle is injured by
external force and causes swelling and
pain, it is helpful to relieve bad symptoms
through ice compress.

8. But cold compress alone does
not solve the disease, but only
can relieve the symptoms. And
the time of cold compress
should not be too long,
because the testicular function
is also affected once the time
is too long.

9. When the male testicles appear bad
symptoms, they should go to the hospital
to see a doctor as soon as possible to check
out the cause of the disease. It is suitable to
use targeted medication treatment. Of
course, you can also take some
physiotherapy methods.

10. Ice compress is also a physiotherapy method.
Although the method can relieve symptoms, it is
not the main treatment measure. During the
treatment, patients should pay attention to rest
more and avoid being too tired.

11. The male testis, one of the
important organs of the
genitourinary system, is the
endocrine organs of the human
body and also has the role of
exocrine. Cold compress of the
testicles can relieve the
symptoms of acute epididymitis,
but cold compaction is not
recommended in the long term

12. Cold compress can constrict the testicular blood
vessels. Long- term cold compress is easy to
cause testicular tissue and epididymis tissue
ischemia, resulting in the related inflammation.
Testicular tissue is more sensitive to
temperature, generally lower than the body
temperature of about 1 degrees Celsius, which
is conducive to the survival of sperm.

13. Common methods of
epididymitis treatment

14. Epididymitis will appear when the
testis feels obviously painful, and
some patients will appear testis
enlargement. In this case, they all
belong to the serious testicular
epididymitis, and they must be
treated by infusion.

15. The common drugs in infusion are penicillin
drugs and quinolones, which have a better
effect on treating genitourinary system
infections.
If there is no obvious swelling and fever, but
only pain or tenderness in the testis and
epididymis, this situation can be treated
with oral medicine.

16. Some herbal medicines can be
used for relief, such as Diuretic and
Anti-inflammatory Pill.
Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill
can eliminate symptoms and cause
to achieve a complete cure. Also, it
has no side effect and has no
drug-dependence.
