Stitch's

[calico]

For those who have had srs, a lil while back and who also had self-disolving stitchs how long do they they last/take to go away? I am finding conflicting information and well lots of mine are gone (on the outside) but a few remain, also how long do the ones on the inside take to go away?

For me I think week 8 they were all gone

5 weeks for me.

It takes about 3 months for the internal stitches to dissolve by the body. And I was a bad patient so I removed all of the external stitches myself in the week 3. I didn't see a reason why to keep them when all of the wounds were healed.

thanks for the info everyone, yea I am tempted to remove the last couple pieces I see externally.. but I will hold on just a lil bit longer

Your welcome girl. Glad your recovery is coming along nicely

It depended on the gauge of the suture.  The one in the labia majora were out in about 3 weeks.  Several in the clitoral area went by week 4, and had been annoying for the last of those weeks.  The last ones to go at 6 weeks were at the back edge near the peritoneal area.
