I would wait another 3 weeks before you resume shaving or using any chemicals on your new stitches. You need to give them a chance to heal. 6 weeks is the recommended wait before you even have intercourse.

Nair will cause a infection so avoid that ...bad area for a infection. I know its a major deal because of the itching so if you must shave, shave everywhere else but that area. You don't want to catch a stitch and pull it. The stitches should be the ones that get absorbed into your body. they should be pretty close to being absorbed but just in case feel around for any before shaving stay away from that area if you think you can feel some. Use a mirror to help ease your worries of catching a stitch. Its your body and making it more comfortable at this time is a good thing. Hope this helps. Congrats!

no longer having intercourse for 6 weeks is probably no longer to do with the stitches or being fertile, although they play a huge section. the explanation you're recommended is using the fact your cervix ought to no longer have completely closed yet and you ought to get a uterine an infection. Plus you purely only had a splash one 3 weeks in the past, provide your self time to heal completely and relax. I even have had 2 young ones and my dis-solvable ones weren't completely long previous until after 4 weeks and that i additionally did no longer choose to get pregnant lower back so quickly. I waited until after the 6 week verify with my first and that i did no longer have intercourse until 6 months with my 2nd (good day i became so very drained). yet i assume interior the tip you're an person and could make your very own decisionns.

WHAT?!!?
they stitch it up after?!?! i knew i shouldn't have gone exploring...
but to answer you question, you should wait a couple more weeks before you start shaving - especially if you had stitches in such a sensitive area. 4-5 weeks should do it
