Dear Doctor, Suture after circumcision takes how many days to fall off ? If the sutures still remains seen after 12 days of circumcision surgery what to do? The sutures done for circumcision are poking sharply around the area causing pain. Please advise.

Hi practo user , It depends upon the suture type when they are going to fall off. If you are having pain due to the suture , you can get it removed after consultation with your operating surgeon Hope this helps
