Should I cut my own sutures when the perineal sutures have not dissolved?

This is an automatically translated article.


Question
Hello doctor, I just gave birth normally for more than 1 month, the wound has healed but not yet only the knot at the top of the vagina. May I ask if you should cut the suture yourself when the perineal suture has not dissolved? If self-expenditure, how long? I hope you can give me some advice, thanks.

Hi, for the question Should I cut my own sutures when the perineal suture has not dissolved? , then you need to go to a medical facility to determine whether the doctor who sutured your episiotomy used absorbable or non-absorbable sutures and the medical staff will decide whether to cut or not. You can also make a visit at a hospital of Vinmec Health System nationwide.
