A member asked:
Should i shave my entire genital area before going in to hospital for a simple bilateral orchiectomy? i am very hairy in that area?

Yes, pubic hairs will be shaved before the procedure. If you are not instructed to do so you don't have to.

No. just trim long hair from the scrotal area only making sure you do not injure the skin. If they need any more prep they will do it before surgery
