A. No not to worry about that. Just don't try pull. Do not rub hard while cleaning. The thread will fall itself. Apply b-bact oint twice daily over the stitch area or the oint given by your doctor. Maintain proper hygeinic condition over the wound area to avoid infection. Applying abdomen bandage regularly for first three months. Best to reduce belly fat Well nourished diet and proper water intake Take proper rest and good sleep. Daily walk and mild leg movement exercise. Have easy to digest food and use ghee instead of oil. Exclusive breast feeding till 6 months. All this helps maintain health after delivery. Body massage using tila tail every morning. After five months you can start all exercise. Avoid heavy exercise like jumping or skipping and gym till 1 year after delivery.
