A member asked:
Are you supposed to shave down there for your gynecologist visit.. i've never done a pelvic exam and i'm nervous any tips ?? what should i do ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need to shave: There is no need to shave pubic hair. The more people who shave their pubic hair, the more pressure there will be upon other people to also shave their pubic hair. Since there is nothing inherently abnormal about pubic hair, there is no reason to shave pubic hair. It's just fashion. If one is a teen, she has many other more important things to do, so pubic hair should not be an issue.
