Patient's question:
I am a 28-year-old woman. My husband and I have always wanted to have children. Could you please explain why women shave their hair when giving birth?Doctor's answer:
Because, women shave before giving birth, this is the standard practice in modern Western medicine called "prepping," which means "preparation for sterilization to ensure clean skin." It is also a mandatory preparatory step before all surgeries, with the purpose of preventing surgical infections and avoiding medical liability accidents. Therefore, before a woman undergoes a childbirth-related surgery, the first step is to prep by shaving all the hair from below the navel to the upper one-third of the thighs. Even on the operating table, sterilization measures must still be implemented.
