I think around 3 weeks until the stitches start to go from what I’ve read

Mine were about 14 days give or take as they don’t all fall out exactly at same moment, mine at least broke apart usually in shower and down “the drain” Again it depends on type used. Some have to be removed

It depends on what kind of sutures were used. 10-14 days for what is called chromic sutures with break apart and fall out. Many other kinds are used depending on Dr preference. Are you sure they are dissolvable? If not, you Dr will remove them. But please, do not pull them out beforehand. You may want to call Dr. Did you get any paperwork on healing? I hope this has helped-best wishes and good healing

Thanks for responding guys.. Yes Dr said they are dissolvable but till now not even one has fallen off and the sensitivity around incisions is still the same. I went to see Dr he said everything looked OK but I'm eager to get out of this situation at least get back to work

in reply toJeremiah99

He may have used one that would take longer to dissolve to prevent ripping or opening circumcision incision. Glad you saw Dr. Know this will resolve and will be a part of the past. You will then maybe be able to help others needing adult circumcision,

Hopefully soon. I can't bear this no more.. I know I sound like a cry baby but I just hate pain lol

in reply toJeremiah99

I don’t perceive you that way. It is very uncomfortable after being circumcised. Time and only time-you will be surprised how well the penis heals. Yes I wanted it over quickly as well. It is a process and I hope you will be well soon

Thanks a lot for the comforting words. I'll keep you guys updated about the healing process

in reply toJeremiah99

I’m 8 days after my operation, hardly slept, been worrying, in pain, itchy. It’s quite a traumatic experience I find. But every day gets better so I’m trying to look at the end goal and be more positive

in reply to

Yes it is. No one here I hope considers anyone in discomfort “whining “ We all want to heal well and quickly-you will of that I am sure. Itching was a problem until sutures fell out for me as well. I hope you will be happy after your circumcision has fully healed Keep someone posted & maybe you can support someone in future
