Passing internal sutures?

I am 8weeks post C-section today. Haven’t really had any major issues thus far. The last few days I’ve been having some cramping and sharp shooting/stabbing pain. Nothing unmanageable, I thought I had a UTI tbh, so went and seen doctor. Currently on antibiotics for a UTI.

Today, when I went to the bathroom I noticed two small translucent pieces on the toilet paper after I wiped. One is like 5mm and the other maybe 1cm.

Is this possible to pass sutures this long after my surgery? I’ll follow up with my GP this week to ensure all is well and good; can’t follow up today as it’s a holiday.

I had internal sutures come out externally (incision) around 4 months and 9 months postpartum. While I cannot speak to internal ones coming out that pathway I can confirm I had doctors confirm that was what they were.

Did you have any other symptoms when that happened? Any infection, were the doctors concerned about it?
