Did anyone request to remove/cut your perineal stitches before it dissolves by itself?

Hello mummies! Does anyone go to your gynae for special request in removing the perineal stitches earlier before it dissolves? I am a first-time mum, who went through a vaginal birth. Episiotomy was done and my baby came out healthy at 3kg. But the problem is even after 12 days postpartum, I can tell my wounds are completely healed, lesser blood discharge but the stitches just doesn't want to dissolve... I can only describe this feeling as 'Gao wei' in dialect or uncomfortable. I can't sit or walk properly and even sitting on a float doesn't help. Furthermore, I can't even burp my newborn because sitting down was a hassle. Have been sleeping on my side as well and there will be slight pain only at night. Please advise and also I deliver in KK hospital (Private package), do state which hospital are you in as well, thank you :)
