I've haven't seen any stitches come out. Normal? I know a lot of ladies here see them when they dissolve after wiping or in toilet, but I haven't
Congrats you made it to 3 week mark! Lol. I didn't have stitches come out till 6 week check up, the doctor took care of the one I could see. I never saw them coming out.
Sometimes I think I feel them coming out at 13 weeks, but I haven't seen anything. Not sure if it's my imagination.
Wow 3 weeks! Time flys. How are you feeling? Mine were around 6 weeks as well. I saw one tiny piece in when wiping once. My perineum ones I could see with a mirror, one morning they were just gone.
Thanks! Feeling pretty good. I am now having to remind myself more often to take it easy
I think 3 weeks is a bit early to be seeeing any stitches come out as it can take up to 12 weeks for them to fully dissolve. Like lynn if I look with a mirror I can see a few stiches and they are slowly turning from a very dark grey colour to a light grey and I expect them to just not be there one day. Glad you are going well but try not to over do it, 3 weeks is still very early days xx
It can take up to about 12 months for all the stitches to dissolve and some ladies never see them, I didn't x
I only ever saw one, and that was because it was a really long one, in the toilet bowl, there was still one left at six weeks, consultant told me, but he left it there, presume it came out.
Three weeks is quite soon for the higher up ones.
I'm 4 months post op never saw any stitches
