A member asked:
She recently had appendicitis, and she went to prom last night, she was moving quite a bit. im worried that her inner stitches could have come loose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Internal sutures dissolve in 5-14 days depending on the type and in a week the wound is as strong as it is going to get. Should not be a problem.
