1. Can Cold
Compress Treat
Epididymitis?
Wuhan Dr.Lee's TCM Clinic

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

3. Patients with
epididymitis
often take cold
compress to
relieve the pain
in their daily life.
Is it reliable?

4. 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.
Cold compress is a physical therapy that can constrict
blood vessels, reduce subcutaneous bleeding, relieve
pain and reduce swelling.

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. 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.
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. 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. Ice
compress is also a
physiotherapy method.

9. During the
treatment,
patients should
pay attention to
rest more and
avoid being too
tired.
Although the
method can
relieve
symptoms, it is
not the main
treatment
measure.

10. 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,
because it can constrict the testicular
blood vessels.

11. 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.

12. Common methods of
epididymitis treatment
1. 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.

13. The common drugs in infusion
are penicillin drugs and
quinolones, which have a better
effect on treating genitourinary
system infections.

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