Taking Propecia After Gynecomastia Surgery?

Is it safe to take propecia after getting gynecomastia surgery? I am scheduled to get surgery for gynecomastia that I got during puberty and not from propecia use but I am worried that if I take the medication after the surgery I am putting myself at risk of the drug causing breast swelling and tenderness

I do not know your personal medical history, so this is a question that you need to ask your doctor. If you choose to take Propecia or any other medication, you would need to be monitored by a doctor who can follow up with you regarding side effects and risks. Propecia has a known rare side effect that can cause gynecomastia. If you already have gynecomastia (without Propecia), I do not know how the drug will affect it.

Generally, in our experience, this has been a difficult problem to address. If you balance the risk against the reward, only you can make this decision. Many people with gynecomastia can be treated with surgery alone (often just a lump) and the problem goes away, but not always. Thus, you will need a close follow-up with your doctor.
