Propecia before and after varicocele surgery, should I discontinue my medication?

I’m having vareocele surgery (embolization) soon. I was just wondering can I continue the medication before during and after the surgery? Also do you need to inform the doctor prior? Regards.

A physician performing any type of surgery, regardless of how small or how large, requires full disclosure and documentation and medications.

Having a varicocele surgery does not preclude the use of finasteride but I would speak with your surgeon about this question

Whatever medication you are currently on needs to be disclosed and discussed with with surgeon. if they deem it necessary to stop the medication, then you need to stop it before your procedure.
