A member asked:
Is it possible to pop an internal stitch 4+ weeks after c section or is it completely healed at that point? if it is, how likely is it without excessive lifting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A suture may not be completely absorbed for several weeks see chart below.it differs depending on material. But it does lose tensile strength over the initial several weeks. Usually lifting is restricted till 6 weeks and full recovery may take 3 months. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suture_materials_comparison_chart
