How long until stitches are supposed to dissolve?
Tomorrow will be 3 weeks and they're still there, not sore or anything but where they're tied snag when I wipe and that hurts.
@debdeb1, yeah I had sex 4 weeks postpartum and I still had stitches
@dbarton041 thank you, your comment made me feel a lot better. I've been worried cause i am bleeding still and all the woman around me are telling me they stopped bleeding by 3 weeks and just were occasionally spotting.
Oh I wouldn't worry. We all heal at different paces. I didn't stop bleeding until 7-8 weeks PP. Tried to have sex at 7 weeks and the pain was unreal, I had to stop. I've seen some girls on here have sex a week later. It all depends. I'm sure you're fine mama!
@inkedsouthernbelle @dbarton041 now I'm worried, I guess I'll be calling the doctor Monday. 😣
Mine didn't dissolve until 2 months
I'm not a doctor but they should be dissolved by now. Mine were super painful for several weeks.
It can take up to 6-8 weeks
And you're not supposed to wipe you're supposed to use the water bottle to lean the area and if you wannna dry it then pat it dry not wipe
