Stitches come out

[Anoonononononymous]

Day 11 post circumcision and did a 10 minute salt soak this afternoon, seen what looks like 1/2 stitches come out. They are dissolvable but I was expecting them to come out a bit later like week 2-3. Should I contact my urologist/ surgeon. No bleeding or pain just usual sensitivity.

You can still support incision site and wound edges not to open when you'll get erections by using strips of surgical tape like 'Micropore' or similar.

thanks a lot! How would this work exactly if you don’t mind explaining

[S2BC in reply to Anoonononononymous]

Apply petroleum jelly or strips of paraffin gauze ('Jelonet'/'Cuticell') on to incision site first. Then the strips of surgical tape won't stuck in wound. Put around 0,5 cm wide strips of surgical tape over incision line. You can not use just one strip over the whole incision, because the tape won't stretch at all. Think about, when you'll get erections..

Change the tape and gauze daily if there is discharge on wound.

When you say soak did you dip the entire penis in like a bowl of warm salt water or how did you go about it because I’m asking for myself. I’m day 5 post Circumcision.

as long as ur soaking the incision it doesn’t matter how much u put in or not just make sure you’re soaking the actual wounds
