Stitches

Does anyone know when I'm in the clear when it comes to my vaginal cuff and internal stitches? I ask only because my bowel movements are horrific and the Doctor says its because the stitches are near the rectum. I'm worried they may have torn due to pain and bleeding. Surgery was June,4th. Any advice would be great! 🙏

Re: Stitches

6 weeks usually for the cuff to be healed. I had DaVinci and at my 6 weeks post op checkup my d0ctor said it wasn't nearly healed yet and kept me on restrictions another 2 weeks .How much are you bleeding? I think you should call your doctor first thing in the morning. Your doctor may want to see you or tell you things to help with your BM's. Did your doctor tell you to take stool softeners or laxatives? drink plenty of water. If your bleeding really bad and the pain is horrible you may need to go to the emergency room tonight. If you think you can wait till morning call the doctor then. Please keep us posted!
