Self-absorbable sutures after delivery

Self-absorbable sutures are often imposed after delivery, especially when cervical and crotch sewing is performed. Most often, they use catgut or vicryl as a suture.

When are the self-absorbing seams applied after delivery completely dissipated?

It should be noted right away that the regeneration process, in particular the healing speed, depends directly on the area in which the suture material is applied. Depending on this, the seaming technique may change. Consequently, material dissolves at different rates.

The self-absorbing postnatal stitches, which were applied with catgut, disappear after about 10-14 days.

The aforementioned vikril is most often used for suturing deeper tissues of the perineum. On its full resorption can take about a month, and in some cases - two.

How long does the self-resorbing suture heal after delivery?

Since each organism is unique, regeneration processes also proceed in different ways. Therefore, when answering this kind of question, doctors do not name specific dates, but only mean values.

So, usually for complete healing and education on the spot, the protection of the scar's wound takes about one month. This period can be extended. It is worth noting that usually the regenerative processes after birth, conducted by cesarean, proceed somewhat slower. This is due to the fact that not only the deep tissues but also the uterus are sutured, which together can prolong the regeneration period.

Thus, if we talk specifically about how many self-absorbing sutures are healing after delivery, then basically this process takes about 30-40 days. During this period of time, any physical exertion to a woman is strictly prohibited.
