How Can C-section Stitches Be Treated?

I am status post c section 6 weeks today. I continue to have internal sutures making their way to the surface. I would have thought dissolveable sutures would be gone by now. Incision is closed and healed. What should I do with these sutures still hanging out?

Hi I think you should consult a gynecologist and get the suture cut. The part of the suture which is hanging can be cut till the skin margin. Rest part which is inside resolves on its own. Hope it helps.
