Will shaving off personal body hair cause harm to women?
Western women have a custom of shaving their pubic hair, and girls have received sexual education knowledge from an early age, including the need to shave their pubic hair. The bathroom is equipped with razors, and after taking a shower, one needs to shave one's pubic hair.
The external genitalia without pubic hair is clean and cool, greatly reducing the chance of lower reproductive tract infections. Just like some ethnic boys who have had to cut off their long foreskin since childhood, their glans is clean, and infections and penile cancer are almost eliminated. It is a hygienic and healthy choice.
Chinese American women or women who have migrated to Europe and America since childhood also have razors in the bathroom and have the habit of shaving their pubic hair every day. They believe that after shaving their pubic hair, the external genitalia is clean, cool, fashionable, and beneficial to health. They have never experienced infections such as genital itching.
Domestic women have never shaved their pubic hair, especially those with thick and thick pubic hair. Coupled with a closed dressing habit, the genital area is damp, stuffy, and difficult to clean. It is very suitable for the growth and reproduction of mold and various pathogenic bacteria, leading to lower genital tract infections, further leading to infertility and one of the reasons for the frequent occurrence of cervical cancer.
The incidence rate of women's reproductive tract infections in most Western countries is below 10%, and the incidence rate of women's reproductive tract infections in India, Bangladesh and Egypt is 52% - 92%. Zhao Gengli and others in China conducted an epidemiological survey on reproductive tract infections in married women of childbearing age, and the cumulative incidence rate was 46.5%. The incidence rate of reproductive tract infections in rural women was 51.7%, significantly higher than that of other occupational women of childbearing age. The above survey data results show that the incidence of female reproductive tract infections is related to the hygiene habits of shaving pubic hair.
