Is it normal to not have the stitches removed 13 days after a C-section?

Patient's question:

Postpartum 13 days without suture removal (the doctor said on the seventh day of discharge that the wound was not fully healed and did not remove the stitches). Hello, doctor, can it be removed now?

Doctor's answer:

The patient's local wound does not show significant redness or swelling at the suture line. Generally, it is currently okay to remove the stitches. The patient can go to the hospital to see the attending physician to remove the stitches, or they can also go to a nearby pet hospital to have the stitches removed by a doctor. In addition to caring for the wound after a cesarean section, it is recommended that the patient pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
