Your doctor: Your OB or midwife will do any repair you need. Occasionally, your provider isn't comfortable with the kind of tear you have and will call in a specialist to assist them or do the repair.

I had a 4th degree tear 4 months ago and I've just noticed a stitch hasn't devolved and my Dr didn't cut it when she did a few others. None of the Drs have mentioned it. Is it okay to leave? Should I see a dr about cutting it? Idk why they haven't cut it
