A member asked:
I had testicular torsion surgery 8 days ago would it help and speed up recovery (swelling) to use ice bags on my testicle every day at all times ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See answer: Application of ice most helpful in reducing swelling the first 2-3 days after surgery. After that, application of heat, rather than cold, will usually promote healing better and faster. When applying either heat or cold, 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off is generally a good rule of thumb. If no contraindications, an OTC NSAID like Ibuprofen or Naproxen may help reduce inflammation and swelling.
