How long for tear to heal?

Question

Had a labial tear (actually more like a hole... It was weird) that required like 2 stitches. Wondering what everyone's timeline was for stitches fully dissolving/tears fully healing. Also if anyone has experience with a labial tear (either stitched or allowed to heal naturally) I'd be interested to hear your story on that. Thanks!

Answer

My stitches dissolved by day 10. I had a 3 week pp checkup and everything was healed. My left inner labia tore in half, they did the best they could with stitches but things are definitely different on the outside now lol. I also had a tear on my clitoris that they would not stitch because its such a sensitive area. Had 2nd degree tears inside and outside down toward the perineum. Dermoplast spray was my best friend for those first couple weeks lol.

Answer

Also curious. I’m 11 days postpartum and received 6 stitches, and tears that they didn’t stitch. My stitches are still there, but I noticed one yesterday was like untying kind of. Doc said they would go away on their own, but didn’t give a timeline
