Vicryl stitches can take 2–6 weeks to dissolve, so at 15 days it can still be normal. If there is increasing pain, swelling, pus, fever, or difficulty passing urine, revisit the surgeon for review.

The sutures will fall off gradually one by one. Absorption takes time. No need to worry. Just see whether the wound has healed well or not. There should be no pain or redness or any discharge.
Next Steps
Consult operating surgeon if these things are there else can wait.
