For cremaster muscle strain placing hot water bottle on groin good?my doc said 2 use ice packs b'coz hot can effect spermatogenesis.used cold it hurts

Differing Opinions: I am not sure why you would worry about a temporary diminishment of sperm production when you are hurting. Ice is good in an acute injury to diminish swelling. But, once swelling has occurred ice provides no benefit. Heat helps soften the muscle spasm and helps with some minor pain control.
