Day 11 - Are these dislodged stitches?

I have noticed a number of stitches that are sticking out (pic included). I keep getting sharp pains - I presume either where the end of digging into my skin or more concerning they may be getting tugged on.

Is that a normal part of the process for them to fall out/dissolve or should I be concerned they have become dislodged before they are ready?

Thoughts very much appreciated! Unsure whether to see a doctor or not.

Dissolvable sutures will absorbed by your own enzymes. So you might see the both ends of a stitch and the middle part of it can be already gone. You can put skin tape 'Micropore' or 'Steri-strip' over the wound for supporting it if you are afraid of wound opening by erections.

The Stitches have been left long nip them shorter with a pair of nail clipper to stop them irritating you

If in doubt, see a doctor. When you are dealing with your penis, or indeed any health issue, get it sorted with your doc.

Appreciate your point but getting a doctor’s appointment can be very difficult hence wanting to get a sense check from others before trying to get one.

That’s fine but remember that we are not doctors and are only commenting from our own knowledge/experience. Your situation may, in reality, not be the same as someone else’s experience.
