Doctor said he used dissolving stitches, so I need not worry about coming back to remove them. I suppose that is why he asked me not to bathe and keep it dry, if you wet the stitches too much, they might dissolve prematurely.

I had mine done at NUH and was told it was ok to bath right when I got home from day surgery . I was hoping the stitches would fall off faster as the ends do give me a rude shock once in a while . I don't understand the logic of shaving the pubic hair , wouldn't trimming be better ? when the hair start to grow back , the first few days also may poke at your exposed head leading to more rude shocks
