Do pubic hairs need to be trimmed?

Generally, it is not recommended to arbitrarily trim pubic hair. The specific analysis is as follows:

Pubic hair is a natural physiological feature of the human body and provides certain protection for the genital organs. For example, during sexual activity, pubic hair can reduce friction-related skin damage, helping prevent discomfort or injury caused by excessive friction. Additionally, the hair acts as a barrier, preventing external dust and foreign particles from directly contacting the sensitive skin of the genital area. Therefore, unless there is a specific reason, trimming pubic hair is usually not advised.

However, in certain specific circumstances—such as when an individual has a skin condition or needs to undergo genital surgery—a doctor may recommend trimming pubic hair to facilitate wound healing or treatment. If trimming is necessary, proper methods should be followed. Use clean, sharp trimming tools, and disinfect the tools before use to avoid skin infections caused by unclean equipment. Exercise caution during trimming to prevent cuts or abrasions, as the skin in the external genital area is particularly sensitive and delicate.

Before trimming pubic hair, it is advisable to consult a doctor or other healthcare professional to ensure your health and safety. In addition, maintain good personal hygiene practices, including regular cleaning and keeping the area dry.
