Will it hurt to take out your stitches?

No, it will not hurt to remove your stitches. The removal of stitches should not cause any pain, as the stitches are typically made of a dissolvable material that has already started to dissolve by the time they are removed. Your healthcare professional, usually a nurse or doctor, will use a small pair of scissors to carefully cut and remove the stitches. You may feel a slight tugging sensation as the stitches are removed, but it should not cause any significant discomfort.
