If I took 500mg of Naproxen 7 days prior to a lower bleph. Should I reschedule the surgery?

Question

John J. Martin, Jr., MD · Answer

However, all surgeons have their own protocol for when they prefer their patients to stop certain medications.  So check with your surgeon.

George C. Peck, Jr, MD · Answer

Taking one naproxen 7 days prior to surgery shouldn't justify a postponement but I have no other medical information to base the advice. Consult your surgeon.

Ronald V. DeMars, MD (Retired) · Answer

Unless you have some other bleeding abnormality, the NSAIDS taken 1 week preop will not have any bad effect on your surgery.
