Pubic hair or vaginal hair is normal and it is a part of everyone's body. The growth of pubic hair bothers many people and it is also important that you clean them from time to time so that proper hygiene can be maintained. But one big problem that people understand is how to deal with pubic hair.

Trained MBBS and M.Sc (Oxon), Specialist Dr. Tanya from Oxford University has shared things related to this on her Instagram account. Dr. Tanya is on Instagram by the name of @dr_cuterus and she always keeps sharing things related to many problems of women.

She recently shared a post which explains the best way to deal with pubic hair.

How to take care of pubic hair-

There are many methods to remove pubic hair. Waxing, plucking, shaving, trimming, etc. But which one is better for you? Many gynaecologistsadvise that waxing the intimate area can prove to be very risky. The reason for this is that during this time you expose your skin. The skin of the pubic area is very sensitive and waxing can also cause various types of cysts and infections.

In the same way, there is scope for cuts and follicle cysts even with shaving.

In such a situation, according to Dr Tanya, trimming pubic hair is the best way for you to reduce them. Trimming won't directly harm your skin.

Keep these things in mind before trimming hair-

If you are going to trim the pubic area, then you have to take care of some things.

  • First of all, do not use scissors or trimmers without sanitization under any circumstances.
  • Do not use the trimmer or scissors that you are using for anything else.
  • Don't even think about sharing the trimmer with anyone.
  • Make sure to clean the pubic area before trimming. This is very important from the point of view of hygiene.
  • Moisten the skin a little before trimming. Friction is reduced due to lubrication and the scope of injury is also less.
  • Trim in the direction of hair growth.

It is not that other methods of pubic hair removal are not very useful, but if you have already had a vaginal infection or are troubled by some kind of cyst or STI problem, then trimming can prove to be the best option. You have to keep in mind that while trimming, does not take your tool too close to the skin, otherwise, your skin may get damaged.

If this is causing some trouble, then you can choose the best option for yourself by talking to your gynecologist. Your doctor can advise on the best method of pubic hair removal for you based on your health condition.
