Patient's question:
I'm having surgery tomorrow, and the doctor asked me to clean up all my pubic hair myself. I heard that after shaving the pubic hair, it grows back much thicker than before. Is that true?Also, may I ask if the hair between the scrotum and the anus also needs to be shaved?
Doctor's answer:
From a scientific perspective, the old saying that hair grows longer after being cut has no basis. The reason people have this belief is because, after a haircut, the shorter length makes it feel harder, leading to the expectation that it will grow even longer. In reality, this is a psychological perception. From an aesthetic standpoint, trimming is perfectly acceptable.The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects a woman's quality of life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecology department in a hospital for a vaginal discharge test. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, it is important to drink plenty of water and maintain good personal hygiene.
