Stitches Issue

Asked for Female, 32 years

Its been 17 days to the day I was delivered of my LO but I still have 3-4 undissolved episiotomy stitches. Is this normal? I was suggested by a friend to go get them removed but I don't want to do so. Please tell me if its normal and what do I do to dissolve the stitches faster. PS: I had about 7-8 external stitches in total, of which 3-4 got dissolved in the first week only. Also, the stitches that are still there have loosened a bit. Please advise.

Dear Patient,

Wash yourself with warm water mixed with Dettol after urinating and defecating. Do kegels exercise on and off to strengthen your muscles. Apply mycitracin ointment in good amount to your stitches and on your pad when you go to the toilet. If the wound doesn't heal in a week of using this then kindly see your doctor again.
