Re: How long for cuff stitches to heal?

As long as it takes. Sorry, I don't have a better answer. Most women find their stitches have dissolved by 6-8 weeks out, but I've seen women comment that they still have undissolved stitches at 12 weeks.

If you are concerned I would call your doctor's office and ask.

Are you having any problems with your stitches?

I asked my doctor how long for the stitches to disolve and she told me 6 months. I wonder if she meant to say 6 weeks. weird.

I've read that it can take several months for them all to heal.

My doctor told me yesterday, at the minimum of 12 weeks, but usually longer for the majority.
