Hi, I had a circumcision two weeks ago from today and everything is going well, most of the stitches are slowly dissolving but the stitches in/on my glands area don t seem to have really dissolved at all. Will they dissolve by themselves or will I need to do something about it? Also I am asking this because I have read online a few times about a stitch knot which can be cut and I m wondering if that is referring to the stitches in/on the glands area. Sorry to drag on... But I have also read online that the dissolvable stitches will ALL eventually fall out themselves, so reading two different sides to this dissolvable stitches resolution I have become kind of confused into which side is the one to believe. If you can help me Id really appreciate it. Thanks.
Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum It depends upon the material used for suturing. If soluble material is used, you need not remove it. If not have to go for suture removal. Please contact your doctor about this. All the best. DO not attempt to do anything yourself.
