Do you need to remove the stitches underneath the delivery? It depends on what kind of thread is used for the stitches, if absorbable gut thread is used, such thread is able to be absorbed by the body, so there is no need to remove the stitches. If non-absorbable silk thread is used, in this case the thread needs to be removed, usually 5-7 days after delivery, that is, when you are hospitalized, the thread should be removed before you can be discharged from the hospital, because it is necessary to see how the wound is healing. If the absorbable intestinal thread is used, it will be absorbed by the body half a month after the operation. If the thread is still knotted in the vagina or perineum after half a month, it is still necessary to go to the hospital to have the thread removed.
