Patient's question:
Hello doctor, the suture I used for my circumcision was absorbable thread, but why is it still there after 13 days? What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Medical absorbable suture is divided into two types: ordinary catgut and chrome catgut. The duration of absorption depends on the thickness of the catgut and the condition of the wound, generally taking 6 to 20 days to fully absorb. Except for individual physical conditions, you are currently 13 days post-surgery, so there is no need to worry excessively.
