How Long Do The Stitches Around The Penis Take To Heal Post Surgery?
Have stitches completely around the head of my penis from surgery for Peyronies disease. Surgery was 3 weeks ago. Doesn t seem like the stitches (which are supposed to be dissolvable), have dissolved in any way. Any idea how long it will take? They are very irritating. Don t go back to surgeon until next week.
Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
it was suppose to be healed by now. if it is absorb able it would have already fallen. only non absorb able needs removal that can be done by around 10th day post operative until complicated by infection. i cannot comment without examine the suture site. so kindly show it to a near by doctor or ER. rather than waiting for the appointment date.
Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
Have a wonderful time ahead.
Best Regards! Dr. Arunmozhi varman
