My girlfriend want to shave her genital area, is there any harm in this?

She has noticed the trend amongst women lately that completely shave all the hair off below. Personally I like the look but we are curious about any health issues?

It is an unnecessary and slightly disturbing trend, but not unhealthy as such.

The pubic hair is there to protect the vulva and vagina from dirt, however in our world today we have easy access to baths and showers for daily washing to keep our genitals clean so the hairs primary purpose these days tends to be that of incubator for pheromones rather than part of vaginal self-defence.

I would say there can be issues with shaving, for a start because pubic hair is so course shaving is not the best option, shaving powder or waxing is far better as there is less chance of irritation and ingrown hairs.

Ingrown hairs are the main issue, as well as razor burn and irritation, a good Aloe Vera gel can help ease off any irritation, but I would tell her to be careful as ingrown hairs can become infected and the lymph nodes in her groin area can become inflamed.

Of course a clean sharp razor if she does choose to shave, shaving with the hairs and using a good shaving foam making sure not to get any within the vulva or vagina, also rinsing fully. Being very careful with the blade, particularly for hair within the vulva, if she cuts then the best thing to use to prevent infection is a little tea tree oil.

Perfectly healthy to shave it off.

There are no health risks, but it may itch at first. Maintaining it regularly should help.

As long as it is done in a hygienic and careful manner, there should be no problems. What I mean is a good, clean razor; lots of rinsing with clear water after; and being careful where she shaves. She might want to get something called "Bikini Zone" which helps minimize the red bumps some women get after shaving. Also, after shaving once or twice, she may decide it's not for her. It can be quite itchy as it grows back in; if you want to maintain the look it can be quite time-consuming also. Good luck to both of you! :)

There are typically no adverse side effects to a shaved pubic area. The problems occur from the little red shave bumps that some women get, and from the potential of cutting oneself. Other than this, its fine.

No real health threats....but a few notes: one, it may itch like crazy for a few days. Two, she might get ingrown hairs or boils, which could be very painful in that area. Third, there is a reason we have hair "down there...." it's so the hair can trap any bacteria, dirt, etc. before it can get into the vagina and cause infections. So she does run that risk. My motto is, if God put it there, it's there for a reason and no need to mess with it!!
