More than 20 days have passed since the circumcision surgery. The white stitches have not fallen off yet.

Patient's question:

Please ask you. I have had my circumcision surgery for more than 20 days. The white thread has not fallen off yet. The doctor said it doesn't need to be removed. How long does it take to fall off?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, most circumcisions now use absorbable sutures, which generally do not require removal as they will naturally fall off. If the suture material has not fallen off after 20 days, this is also normal. Once the wound site has completely healed with a scab, the suture material will naturally fall off on its own.
