After circumcision, absorbable sutures usually begin to detach in about 20 days.
Absorbable sutures mainly include sheep intestine thread, polymer chemical synthetic thread and pure natural collagen suture, which can be degraded and absorbed by human tissues and do not need to be detached, which can eliminate the pain that occurs when the sutures are removed. Usually, about 20 days after the suture is closed, the knot starts to detach and the wound heals more firmly. During the process of knot detachment, the patient does not have any obvious self-perception, and it is likely that the knot detaches during the process of changing underwear or during erection. After suturing, the wound should be observed and if the knots remain intact after 30 days or so, you should consider going to the hospital to have the remaining knots removed.
For wounds closed with absorbable sutures, it is also necessary to review the wound regularly after surgery and pay attention to the wound dressing change to ensure a smooth recovery.
