Do you need to shave clean before giving birth?

Patient's question:

Female, 27, mental state not very good recently, don't know why, please ask: Do you need to shave off all the hair when giving birth?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, it is basically to shave the pubic hair below the woman's vulva clean with a razor, mainly for better sterilization and to prevent the recurrence of infection. If there is local hair, bacteria are prone to grow at the hair root, making sterilization difficult. Especially for women who give birth naturally, most require an episiotomy to prevent laceration of the anus and rectum during delivery. I hope the above answer is helpful to you. Wishing you a quick recovery!
