Sex and stitch poking my husband

I went in for my 6 week check up on June 19th. I had one little section of cuff that had not healed yet. My surgeon cleared me for everything, including sex, but said if I could wait a couple of week, wait - so I did.

On July 12 my dh and I had sex. He is able to feel a stitch. He said it scratches the head of his penis and occasionally pokes him.

Fast forward to yesterday - I still have it. I am now 13 weeks post op and still have at least one stitch. I have felt inside and can feel it too. Luckily my husband makes jokes and asks me if I can go back to surgery and have the teeth removed...LOL - but is it normal to have any remaining stitches after this long???

All the office can tell me is "it' takes a while sometimes?"

Thanks.

I'm not sure which type of sutures they used for you but mine are barbed and take more than 60 days to dissolve. I'd definitely go for a check up and ask the dr if he can snip that end or something. Hubby shouldn't be poked at all.... I do like his teeth joke though. Sounds like something my husband would say.

I hope your stitches dissolve soon!!!!!!!! I am not cleared for sex until 8 weeks. 3.5 more weeks!

Barbed??? LOL and I thought surgery would be traumatizing for me

Now all I have in my head is how the heck would my surgeon snip that? He is high risk and very hard to get in to see so I am hoping that "take a while" is not much longer.

Can take over 10 weeks to 14weeks or longer for those to dissolve had my 6 week post op today, that is what doc told me

Glad your husband it taking it so well! Sometimes a little humor helps a lot!
Hope the poking goes away soon.
