Would Taking Ecstacy or Mdma Affect Wound Healing After Surgery?

Question

I had a part of a large mole removed 3 weeks ago and already know that nicotine and alcohol is a no no for my recovery but am wondering how mdma affects wound healing.

Sonia Badreshia-Bansal, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. I would recommend not taking anything until your wound is completely healed.  It is advisable to always let your doctor be aware of all of your medications, drugs, and smoking habits you have prior to any procedure.  I hope this helps.

Hello

	It is not recommended that you take illicit drugs while recovering from surgery.  I am unaware of any direct effect of amphetamines on wound healing and I am just advising generally.
