When did your stiches dissolve?

Question

i had my son 11 days ago...had first degree tearing....and my stiches still seem the same and have not dissolved. they dont hurt unless i wipe hard or something.

when should i expect them to dissolve by?

Answer 1

Mine fully dissolved and healed in about 2-3 weeks. But it really depends on how quick you heal.

Answer 2

mine were out after about a week.  It itched soo bad.  Of course i am really fast healer and i had a second degree rip.  I dont know..half of the stuff everyone says about child birth didnt happen to me so idk lol.

Answer 3

I have the same problem, the stitches dissolve within 2 weeks, but it takes much longer to heal. I had my baby 3 months ago and im still sore. The ob/gyn said it could take up to 6 months for that area to completely heal. Hopefully its sooner because its a weird feeling sometimes.

Answer 4

it took me around 3 weeks, then I took my finger in the bath and scratched the rest out, it felt much better.  Congrats on your boy!!
