Yes you just melt sugar in water, and it can reduce swelling especially in males, who are normally the ones who have prolapes.
I have tried this when one of my males was over amorous in the first weeks of getting up from hibernation. I soaked him in the sugar water and it worked:0)
I think you could also use glucose diluted in water too.
