    My stitches had dissolved by my 6 week c/u but was still really sore. Probably didn't start to feel normal until about 9 weeks or so. I found the salt baths really helpful too. I took warm water in a bottle whenever i went to the toilet to pour over area it helped ease the discomfort & helped keep the area clean.
