Most of the cosmetic stitches from a normal delivery disappear in about 1 month, a few disappear in about 3 months, and an extremely small number of them that cannot be completely absorbed will need to go to the hospital to have the stitches removed.
Cosmetic sutures are commonly used during normal labor and delivery if there is a perineal circumcision or a vaginal or vulvar laceration in the birth canal that needs to be sutured. Cosmetic sutures are absorbable and will dissolve and disappear on their own about 1 month after delivery for most women, while a small number of women will not be able to absorb them completely until about 3 months after delivery.
A very small number of women may not be able to absorb this type of cosmetic suture on their own due to their own physical condition, and may have symptoms of rejection of the thread, which will require them to go to the hospital to have the suture removed.
The specific treatment needs to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
