Circumcision sutures not coming out.

[gadddy]

Only two of them have come out after four weeks. Should I leave them, remove them myself or go see a doctor to remove them?

See my post from yesterday.

I'm 16 days post circumcision and was finding the stitches unbearably uncomfortable after 2 weeks.

I went to see the nurse at my GP clinic yesterday and she took them all out.

She said dissolvable stitches are hit and miss as to how long they take but generally after 2 weeks they have done their job and can be removed.

I'm so glad I did as it feels much better now and is healing beautifully.

Cheers bud, I'll book a appointment tomorrow.

Was it painful or uncomfortable getting them took out?

[Daz81 in reply to Gerryboy]

I'll be honest it felt like she was pulling rusty nails out and was painful but it only took a few minutes and was well worth it.
