A member asked:
I had a vaginal delivery with a small tear one week ago. i'm noticing bits of the disposable stitches on toilet paper. is that normal this soon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: 7 days after suturing is a normal time to start seeing some bits of dissolvable sutures falling out. Make sure you keep your follow-up appointments with your ob-gyn and that will assure you get a clinical exam with a visible inspection to confirm all is medically stable. Congratulations and best wishes.
