    Hi girls

    On my left incision, at the end where knots are i have a stitch thread hanging out. I think its normal as I’ve seen it on here before but is it ok?
    Not bothering me so i can leave it, will it dissolve? Or do i need see nurse to get trimned or pulled out xxx

    I had this to normal for them to be hanging out at the size the nurse said if they were still there a week after my 2 week po check up to nip back in and they would trim then as it can cause infection x

    Yes the stitches are disolvable apparently they put them in longer for tension to make the wound nice and neat x
