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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

My wife is 9 months pregnant and her C-section is scheduled for this week, but she suddenly caught a cold and cough because of the rainy season. Can you recommend a safe cough syrup for the last trimester that won't harm the baby? Also, if her cough doesn't clear up before the surgery, could it delay the delivery date?
For cold in 9-month pregnant woman, use syrup like Benadryl or Grilinctus BM after OB consult—mild cold won't usually delay C-section unless fever or breathing issues occur.

Hey, I've been diagnosed with PCOS and my ob-gyn recommended I take Althea pills. I'm a bit worried thoughwhat happens if I get my period before finishing the 21 days of pills? Should I stop for 7 days and then continue with the remaining pills? I'm just a little confused about how to handle this.
If you get your period before completing the 21 days of Althea pills, continue taking the pills as prescribed until you finish the full 21 days. There's no need to stop the pills for 7 days; just complete the pack and start the next one on time. Always check with your doctor for personalized advice.
