Stitches not dissolved after expected timeframe

Hi,

Half my stitches have dissolved within 3 weeks. I am thinking of cutting off the rest as I'm convinced the incision is fully healed and the stitch is no longer providing support. I also want to have sex which is my main motivation.

Any thoughts are welcome.

Cheers

Hello,

The minimum waiting time for sex after circumcision is 6 weeks. It's best to wait to allow for proper healing. Good luck.

Give it the full six weeks and try salt baths, this can help to clean and disolve stitches.

Not what you're looking for?
