Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Pubic hair can be shaved. In sexual life, the main function of pubic hair is to reduce friction during intercourse and prevent damage to the prominent mons pubis. Traditionally, Chinese women have not engaged in the practice of shaving pubic hair, especially those with dense and abundant pubic hair. Combined with their closed clothing habits, the groin area tends to be damp and hot, making it difficult to clean thoroughly. This creates an ideal environment for the growth and reproduction of molds and various pathogenic bacteria, leading to lower genital tract infections. These infections can further result in infertility and are also one of the reasons for the high incidence of cervical cancer.
