Does it hurt to remove the stitches?

Wound removal may be painful, but the pain is usually mild and largely tolerable. Generally if the wound is relatively large, in order for the wound to heal as quickly as possible, it is usually necessary to suture, so that the incision surface is in full contact, which is more helpful for wound healing. If ordinary thread is used to close the wound, it will be rejected by the body and affect the wound healing, therefore, it is usually necessary to remove the suture after the wound is basically healed. In the process of removing the stitches, there will be pulling, so the wound area will have a certain degree of pain, but by this time the wound has basically healed, so the pain is usually not obvious, basically can be tolerated. The wound also needs to be carefully taken care of after the sutures are removed, avoiding water in the first two days after the sutures are removed to avoid infection, and if there are any abnormal symptoms during the recovery period, go to the regular hospital in a timely manner.
