Should stitches be bleeding after 5 days?

Stitches should not be bleeding after five days; some minor oozing might occur, but persistent bleeding is a cause for concern. If you notice significant bleeding, increased redness, swelling, or any signs of infection, it's important to consult your healthcare provider. Proper care and monitoring of the stitches are essential for healing. Always follow your doctor's postoperative instructions for best results.
