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.

I'm feeling pretty worried because last night, my husband was a bit too rough while sucking my nipples. He bit and squeezed them hard, and now I'm dealing with some serious pain and slight bleeding. It's hurting a lot. What should I do about it?

It sounds like your nipples were injured from the intense pressure and biting. It's important to give them time to heal, and you may want to avoid further stimulation to the area for a few days. If the pain and bleeding persist or worsen, I recommend seeing a doctor for an evaluation.
