Health benefits and risks associated with genital hair removal

The culture of genital hair removal is rapidly getting its way into the society. It's a practice that is more common with young people than the old. It's associated  with the growing trend of strolling the streets with bikinis and other tight and short wears so the hair will distort the shape of the curves.

Societal reasons for genital hair removal
1. Pressure from sexual patners- A patner with a clean well shaved playground can't stand the discomfort of being rubbed by a hairy patner, he/she may force the partner to seek the services of a Gillette.
2. As discussed above, the growing trend of wearing bikinis necessitates genital hair removal.
3. Desire to go back to childhood. Some adults have marked aging as their enemy number 1. They will therefore try to restore their childhood looks by genital hair removal.
4. Hygiene- Some feel that the hairs contribute to the foul smell that emanates from the area which is indeed true if you don't shower and remove all moisture from the pleasure headquarters.
- Ancient surgeons figured out that hair removal before surgeries elevated chances of infection contraction rather than reducing.


Health risks
- Some clinicians have reported an increased number of herpes cases brought about by the microscopic wounds left behind after hair removal that allows viral penetration.
- Genital hairs also absorbs the friction during sex and the opposite occurs for playground shavers.
-Hair removal naturally irritates and inflames hair follicles leaving behind microscopic wounds.
- It's also possible that you can cut yourself when shaving hence paving way for secondary infections.
- When the wounds combine with moisture, it becomes a  good culture medium for the worst bacteria ever, the Group A streptococcus and staphylococcus aureus.
