Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
our hypothesis is that local cooling of the affected testis or epididymis may relieve the pain and reduce the analgetics consumption In order to examine this hypothesis we will recruit adult patients with epididymitis or orchiepididymitis and will randomize these patients to two arms.
One arm will receive every 8 hours a brick cooled for at least 2 hours in -20(celsius) for local use on the affected hemiscrotum, while the second arm will receive a brick in room temperature.
Pain level will be estimated one hour following the application of the brick using visual analogue pain score. Patient will receive analgetics according to a predefined escalating protocol.
Pain level and analgetics consumption will be compared between the two arms.
