Patient's question:
It has been a month since I had a vaginal tightening surgery, and there are still suture threads inside and outside that haven't absorbed. What should I do? Is there any good solution? Should I have them removed?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal laceration during childbirth, with suture threads not yet absorbed, should be suitable for pelvic floor rehabilitation treatment. However, it is still necessary to visit the gynecology outpatient department of the hospital for a check-up. If there are exposed suture threads, they need to be removed promptly using forceps. Specific issues should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Typically, postpartum recovery and pelvic floor rehabilitation require about 42 days postpartum to complete. If there is no obvious external trauma, redness, swelling, pain, or discharge, it is generally safe to proceed.
