day 16 after circumcision and still have all the stitches

[nkgw]

day 16 after circumcision and I think all of my stitches are still in??? I noticed they just got smaller overtime but kinda worried it's gonna take too long for me to be free from them. sensitivity is not as bad tho

Hey bud. Stitches fall at different speed for everyone. In my case I lost them all mid week 3-beginning week 4, so don’t stress over it

I’d give it a bit more and if you still have them by the end of next week you can go to the doc and maybe he/she can manually remove them if it’s necessary

thank you!!! I've seem some posts mentioning ways to speed the healing up a bit, is there any? just asking haha if not I'll just wait one more week to see what I can do

Mmm some people recommend using bio oil to softer the scar line, but that’s after the stitches fall. I wouldn’t really try speeding it up considering you’re very close to them falling. I’d just give it the week and see how it goes.

Like I said you can always call your doc for a quick follow up if by next week they haven’t fallen off

I am on Day-11 and approximately all of the stitches are intact . They are becoming loose day by day except couple of them fell off . I have a feeling that the skin is not yet attached but still the stitches fell off . Is that a worrying sign ? I had little pis around frenulum area but they are reducing after every wash . As far as my knowledge is concerned, stitches will fall off in 3-4 weeks of time and do not pull any one of them . You don’t want an unnecessary bleeding from the most sensitive part.
