Stiches- 4 weeks post op

[fishpicker8888]

Hi i had a circumcision 4 weeks ago and most of my stiches have gone,however there are still a few and i worry they won't dissolve. If there still in after 6 weeks will it be ok to have sex and if there still in should i get them taken out or wait.

P.s my doc is in another country so would like to avoid the plane trip amd the doctors are useless where i live 😣

Thanks in advance

Get them pulled out by a nurse or any doctor

I had them pulled out at week 2 because after two weeks they have done their job

Does it hurt ? Is it straight forward ? How long did it take

[Hidden in reply to fishpicker8888]

Yes it’s very straight forward. My doc literally pulled them out within 5-10min. It wasn’t painful just uncomfortable. Although it may be a bit more painful for you because your stitches have been in so long. But make sure you get them out otherwise you’ll develop stitch tunnels

Hi i was circumsised 7 days ago and after reading alot of infomation on other people. I havent seen alot of people talking about circumsisen through the glue method. Ive only had a few stiches on the head but the rest of the foreskin is stuck down by glue..

The circumcision's scar line looks good, and you're healing pretty good too for 4 weeks! The spots where the sutures were are a bit yellowish and dry-pussed. That's fine, normal, and will heal soon too. Like the other commenters advise, go and get some medical professional to pull the remaining stitches out.

DO NOT HAVE ANY TYPE OF SEX ACTIVITY until your stitch holes heal completely and fade away, unless you want to interrupt that healing process with 5 min of gratification that cause a lifetime of penile ugliness...

My gf pulled them out for me. I've already had sex altho it was only 2 mins lol. Could't take any longer and it looked ok, so i went ahead i can't really see any stich holes. I have pics but it wont let me post a pic on here im thinking of making a new post. All my stiches are out now tho so thanks guys its a daunting exp when you get a circumcision but the worst is way behind me now.
