Hello there, you need to calm down regarding the stitches. Absorbable sutures take around 7-14 days depending on wound healing capabilities.
Nonetheless you should get a consult from your surgeon regarding the issue so that you can undergo an extended physical exam including per rectal and proctoscopy.
In the meantime you can take a seitz bath (lukewarm water with salt or providone iodine solution) where you sit in it for about 10-15minutes. It will help in further healing of the wound.
Next Steps
Consult your attending surgeon.
Health Tips
Donot apply any other cream except those prescribed or put too much pressure during defecation as it may lead to suture gaping.
