stitches hanging out
I'm 4 weeks pp and in the shower today I noticed a string hanging out of my vagina. I pulled gently and it's still connected. I got queasy so I didn't try I look again with a mirror. I thought stitches were dissolvable..it was literally a red string about 2-3 cm long hanging out. Red maybe from blood?
@preciouslove7112,
Anyone?
@preciouslove7112,
My stitches have always been black.. So idk.. But I've always had dissolvable ones. Maybe they are the kind your dr has to remove at 6week check up.
@preciouslove7112,
Mine were yellow ish. They were supposed to be dissolvable I think and they just slowly fell out a little at a time.
I just looked again and it's a thin black string...it feels like when I first had stitches again but no itching slight swelling no pain.
@preciouslove7112,
My dissolvable stitches started unraveling at a week pp. They started hurting bad so I called yesterday and they told me to come in. I just got back from the doctor and he cut the remaining stitches and said it should still heal fine but I need to get checked in 2 weeks. So I do think it's a big deal that yours are coming out, but you probably should have your doctor look at them and make sure it's not infected.
@Ricky2024,
I remember with my first I saw it hanging out I left it and it went away. Don't pull leave it alone! Your body knows what to do!!!
@Ricky2024,
Oh wow... I already made an appointment for tomorrow and its a pretty long fish line too..no pain though so I guess that's always good
@vailgirl82,
Did yours heal alright at your pp check up? Mine is a good 2 inches long of black line..
