How long does it take stitches to dissolve?

Question

I delived my baby 3 weeks ago and I had a tear. I can still feel the stitches. how long does it take for them to dissolve? has it been too long? Thanks,

Answer 1

I still had part of my stitches in at 6 weeks during my check-up and my doctor removed part of them during the checkup.  I however could not feel them that much after a couple of weeks.

Answer 2

with my first 2 weeks and with my second about 3 weeks and they will fall out or disolve. It just depends on how fast you are healing. Your Dc. will take them out at your 6 week if they aren't out already but they should be out before then. Good Luck and Congrats
