Is it better to apply cold or hot compresses to varicose veins?

Cold compresses can be applied locally to shrink the scrotum and promote blood return, which is conducive to relieving the symptoms. 1. Hot compress: according to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, when applying local hot compress, the blood vessels of the spermatic vein will further expand, the blood stagnation in the scrotum will further aggravate, and the patient’s perineum will be more swollen and painful, and the elevated temperature of the scrotum will not be conducive to the spermatogenesis of the testicles, so it is not recommended to apply hot compress. 2. Cold compresses: local cold compresses can not only make the veins of the spermatic vein contract, the scrotum will also contract, can promote local blood return, relieve the scrotum caused by varicose veins of the scrotum of the swelling, pain, and can also reduce the temperature of the scrotum, so varicose veins can be given to the cold compresses.
