Can women shave their pubic hair?

In the primitive times when people didn't wear pants yet, pubic hair had already developed when they were tired. It was mainly to block the invasion of bacteria and protect the health of our reproductive system. Many girls will easily develop some gynecological diseases after adulthood due to the secretions sticky on the pubic hair, so everyone will choose to shave off the pubic hair. In fact, it can be shaved, but the specific decision should also be based on personal habits.

In the primitive times when humans did not yet wear pants, pubic hair played a protective function in protecting the vagina, preventing the invasion of foreign objects and germs, and maintaining hygiene. During sexual intercourse, the main function of pubic hair is to reduce mutual friction during sexual intercourse and prevent damage to the raised mons pubis. In fact, during sexual intercourse between men and women, the male pubic hair is sufficient to reduce mutual friction during sexual intercourse and avoid damage to the mons pubis. In modern society, the thick pubic hair covers the vulva, making it always in a warm and humid environment, becoming a breeding ground for mold, trichomonas, pubic lice and various pathogens, which is very detrimental to the hygiene of the vulva.

Western women have the custom of shaving their pubic hair, and girls receive sex education knowledge, including the need to shave their pubic hair, from an early age. There are razors in the bathroom, and you should shave your pubic hair after bathing.

The hairless vulva is clean and cool, greatly reducing the chance of lower reproductive tract infection.

Just like some ethnic boys have their foreskins cut off when they are young, the glans is clean and infection and penile cancer are almost eliminated. It is a hygienic and healthy choice.

Chinese women or women who moved to Europe and the United States when they were young also have razors in the bathroom and have the habit of shaving their pubic hair every day. They believe that shaving the pubic hair makes the vulva clean and cool, and it is also fashionable and good for health. They never have vulvar itching or other infections.

Domestic women have never shaved their pubic hair, especially those with thick and abundant pubic hair. Coupled with the closed dressing habit, the pubic area becomes damp, stuffy, and difficult to wash, which is very suitable for the growth and reproduction of mold and various pathogenic bacteria, leading to lower reproductive tract infection, further causing infertility, and is also one of the reasons for the high incidence of cervical cancer. I have consulted several doctors (in Australia and the United States), and among them, almost no one suffers from lower reproductive tract infection or vulvar inflammation. A general practitioner at a clinic said: "Women here have the habit of shaving their pubic hair since childhood. Their genitals are clean and they often sunbathe on the beach all year round. They don't get vulvar infections. I haven't seen these patients, but it's not uncommon among Arabs and Chinese."

In most Western countries, the incidence of reproductive tract infections among women is below 10%, while in India, Bangladesh and Egypt, the incidence is between 52% and 92%. Zhao Gengli et al. in my country conducted an epidemiological investigation on reproductive tract infections in married women of childbearing age. The cumulative incidence rate was 46.5%, and the incidence rate of reproductive tract infections in peasant women was 51.7%, which was significantly higher than that of women of childbearing age in other occupations. The above survey data show that the incidence of female reproductive tract infection is related to the hygienic habit of shaving pubic hair.
