Re: When will I see stitches come out?
The stitches will start dissolving anytime now- there's some variation in time it takes, depending on your body chemistry, the suture material used and the type of stitch/knot the surgeon uses.
You may or may not see them and you may or may not experience any spotting.
I had some "old blood" that was caught on the stitches that was discharged around 2 weeks but nothing else. Some women do have some minor new bleeding. Unless there's a lot of red blood, it's not worrisome but if you're asking yourself "Is this too much blood?", go ahead and call your doc- s/he's the one who knows exactly where you were stitched, how well the suture line did upon closure and what reasonable to expect.

Re: When will I see stitches come out?
My surgery was 1/29 and I never saw any stitches come out. In fact, when I went for my 7 week check, my surgeon discovered that my stitches have not dissolved and she believes it may take months for them to do so. My body simply does not like to dissolve stitches.

Re: When will I see stitches come out?
My surgery was 1/22 and I never saw stitches from the vagina either.
At my 8 week f/u she even said I was still healing and not to be surprised if they just dissolved rather than fall out.
The only stitch I did see was one of my abdominal incisions. It kept getting caught on my shirt, so I gently pulled it with no resistance...

Re: When will I see stitches come out?
I had a TAH and I never saw any stitches nor did I have any spotting after the second day. My doc warned me that I could possibly, but I did not.
