Stitches Not Coming Out After Circumcision

Hi, I was circumcised on the 9th of September which was 3 weeks ago today, and some of the stitches are still in. Is this normal? And also, how do you resist to masturbate?

Yeap . Completely normal. It would be best to get it removed in a clinic obviously but I wouldn't worry that much. Beyond 4 weeks it's best to get it removed through. Bathing twice a day kinda helped me out with this. All the best !

Okay thanks!

Cut them out or go to the gp and get the nurse to cut them out

Stitches usually do their job in 10-12 days. Some may dissolve earlier than that and some may stay for a month or more unless removed. It is a good idea to remove any stitches after 14 days to both reduce swelling and prevent stitch tunnels from forming.

Resisting masturbation simply needs will power!

Ok. I’m on day 22 and in the last day they untied and fell off all but one. I’m sure they all fall out at different times.

I think it's still good time, my last stitch fell off in the seventh week and I was immediately able to get into action
