    The answer would be: Constriction of blood vessels

    Room temperature tends to be colder than the body temperature. A cold water will induce vasoconstriction of the blood vessel that could be beneficial to stop bleeding (if there is any). This will also reduce the pain that caused by the inflammation.

    But most research found that the blood flow is not significantly reduced so irrigation using body temperature water might be better.
