How long before postpartum stitches dissolve?!


Question: How long before postpartum stitches dissolve!?
Just wondering!.!.!. what is the time frame for vaginal stitches to dissolve!? I know they can fall out or be absorbed in pieces over time, but when can you expect for it to start and by when should they be fully dissolved!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It typically takes about 10-14 days to have your stitches dissolve, but it's not unheard of for some of them to stick around for up to 3 weeks!.

The worst of it is a slight odor (normal), some minor spotting, and finding little black "bits" on your TP when you wipe!.

If you have any problems, discomfort, really offensive odor, or extreme pain or heavy bleeding, see your OB/GYN as soon as you can!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think its between 2 and 3 weeks although if there is a stitch thats in a awkward position you may have to go to your doctor and have it looked at!.!.!.!.althought the scar can be sore for a while after!.!.

goodluckWww@Answer-Health@Com
