Dissolvable stitches consist of materials that the body can break down and absorb. They do not require a doctor to remove them and will eventually disappear on their own. Doctors tend to use dissolvable stitches for deeper wounds. For more superficial wounds, they usually prefer to use nonabsorbable stitches.

Episiotomy stitches usually start to dissolve within a few days, and are gone after a week or two. You may notice pieces of the stitches (appearing as little black specks left behind on the toilet paper) when you wipe yourself.
