Patient's question:
After circumcising 10 days ago, the doctor said the stitches should fall off on their own. But I don't know if these stitches will naturally fall off.Doctor's answer:
Currently, the sutures used for circumcision are mostly absorbable, which can fall off automatically. Even if they do not fall off, they can integrate and be absorbed by the skin tissue. If the wound is no longer bleeding or discharging at present, you can take a normal shower. Additionally, you can dilute potassium permanganate in water to soak the glans to prevent infection. During this process, these suture ends will gradually fall off.
