Not needed: If you didn't need an episiotomy, or incision to lengthen the birth canal, you shouldn't need stitches.

My baby is now 40 days old. When I went to the doctor, he told me that I still have stitches from my episiotomy. He told me they can come off even after 10 weeks. My question is if I can have sex now, or should I wait after they come off?
