How long does the dissolving suture completely disappear after circumcision surgery?

Patient's question:

Last month I had a circumcision surgery, and the doctor told me that I didn't need to have the stitches removed. But now, 40 days have passed and they haven't fallen off yet. How long does it take for the dissolvable stitches from a circumcision surgery to completely disappear?

Doctor's answer:

The refining line usually starts to refine after half a month and takes several months to fully refine. If the thread end is long, you can consider dismantling and sewing. If the thread end is short, just wait for it to fall off by itself. Male diseases have a very significant impact on patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying attention to self-care training, eating more fruits and vegetables, and avoiding stimulating foods.
