You should always follow your surgeon's instructions regarding pubic hair removal before surgery. They may recommend a specific method, such as:
- Shaving: This is the most common method, but it can cause razor burn or ingrown hairs.
- Trimming: This can help to reduce the risk of infection, but it may not be sufficient for all surgeries.
- Depilatory creams: These creams dissolve hair, but they can irritate the skin.
- Waxing: This is effective, but it can be painful.
- Laser hair removal: This is a permanent solution, but it may not be suitable for all surgeries.
It's important to discuss the pros and cons of each method with your surgeon to determine the best option for your individual needs.
Remember: You should never attempt to remove pubic hair the day before surgery. Allow enough time for the skin to heal from any irritation or cuts.
