Question

I'm 20 days postpartum after a normal delivery. My external stitches have dissolved, but the internal vaginal stitches haven't yet. How long does it typically take for these internal stitches to dissolve?

Typically, internal vaginal stitches from a normal delivery take around 4-6 weeks to dissolve, but can vary from 3-8 weeks; if you're concerned or experiencing discomfort, discharge, or other symptoms, consult your healthcare provider or obstetrician for a check-up and guidance.
