Has your Pubic hair been commented on during an exam?

YES. Two years ago my female derm doctor was conducting a full body scan and found a mole hiding under my public hair. She pushed the hair aside and took out her magnifying glass and after commenting on hairdo said noting to worry about but we will put it one the list to check every year. With that she proceeded to continue my skin check of my man-parts. Now I have something to look forward to each year!

My pediatrician would sometimes comment on it, mostly to my mom when I was younger.

Only time was when I first started getting pubes. I hadn’t really started growing any other body hair yet, but the pediatrician said something along the lines of “the rest of the hair will come in soon” or something. Really just in passing.

During an exam, I remember him tugging on my two hairs. He said something to my mom but I don't remember what it was. She also watched as he looked at my penis and compared my testicles to the beads.

I don't believe it has ever been mentioned - when younger or as an adult.

Yes. I had an Asian female doctor from Japan that had just started her residency examine me in place of my regular doctor and being a red head I have red pubic hair. She had never seen red pubic hair before and was trying but failing at not smiling during the exam. She noticed I saw her smiling and she immediately apologized and said I’m not laughing about anything or you it’s just that in my country no one has red pubic hair and I’ve never seen it before. I said oh that is kind of funny and she laughed and said yes it is and hopefully I react more professionally next time. I said don’t worry about it.

HeatherR: My pediatrician would sometimes comment on it, mostly to my mom when I was younger.

Heather: What did the pediatrician say, if I may ask? Pubic hair should be entirely normal at the appropriate ages I would guess. Thank you.

Not very often, only a few times when I just had hit puberty the doctor made a comment, but it was supposed to be positive and that everything looks good

I don’t think so but one time when I was 15 or 16 I shaved everything out of curiosity and was panicked that my public hair and balm hair wouldn’t grow back in time and the doctor would find it very weird. This was before shaving or trimming became normal. I freaked out when I realized I’d be pulling my pants down in three months. Fortunately it all grew back in.

Not yet, but I'm hopeful. It's trimmed and epilated so comments would be interesting.

I usually shave groin area. I had a hernia operation scheduled. Doctor told me not to shave until the surgery because razor cuts could cause skin infection. Prep would be done just before surgery. At hospital I had maybe a 1/4 to 3/8 inch of hair. Nurse said, "Easy, peasy. Long hair is harder."

Never happened for me.

I’ve had it commented on during a play exam but never in a real examination situation.

I don’t recall anyone ever commenting on my pubic hair. I am guessing that it is a good thing that it is unremarkable? It also leaves me wondering if I am missing out on enough opportunities for it to be commented about?

Yes. It was mortifying at the time because I was young and my mother was in the room and I was pretty much naked. On top of that, my mother had approved a resident or someone shadowing into the room and i had found it too uncomfortable to protest. I had been having issues with UTIs and came to a speciality doctor for that specifically but I also had an itch on my nipples and my mother didn't know it was normal for growing breasts. The doctor had just examined my breast buds and explained to my mother about them and then she asked for my bottoms off so my mother had undressed me so my pussy was visible for everyone in that room. That's when the doctor commented on the growth of pubic hair. There was a poster in the room about growth stages and she referred to it. She pulled my labia apart right after and i remember feeling really stretched down there and could feel air on my clit. It was humiliating. I cried because everyone could see everything because i was stark naked and exposed with the stretching, especially since i have an outie clitoris. The doctor made it quick after that but the damage was done and i was really embarrassed for a while. And even when she made it quick it was humiliating because she wouldn't stop going back and forth with my mother and the other lady in the room about my area, like showing them and moving my clit with her gloved fingers. She ran a finger down the underside of it and pulled the hood back so my clitoral glans was fully exposed and was commenting medical stuff to the person shadowing her. She even stretched my cheeks to take a quick peek at my anus and showed the other lady. Oh i was in tears, like hysterics. I was a very very shy child and this always stuck with me and definitely started my fetish.

And she wasn't even done. Because i remember after she left and came back, i had to sit and urinate into a funnel in front of everyone with my little naked pussy exposed. I researched that test for years after because it became such a fixation for me- it was a uroflowmetry test. And the comments didn't stop about my exposed pussy and pubic hair and problems urinating while i was trying to pee even though i was clearly very upset. I had a shy bladder and she had me move back and forth and pressed on my bladder to stimulate my muscles to relax. Her fingertips were definitely in my pubic hair when she did that so it touched too. The last thing she did was having me back on the exam table and cleaning down there before she put some sort of cold ointment on her gloved finger and smeared it on me. Then I was allowed to put my clothes back on. She told my mother to keep an eye on my body and development and especially on my private area and make sure i was cleaning properly (front to back) so i dont have complications from constant UTIs. She prescribed antibiotics and that was it.

I went back almost a year later for one more UTI that popped up and i was terrified of a repeat but because it had been so long, it was a quick urine test and that was it.

Personally, no, because I shave it, but a more rebellious friend of mine let it grow quite a bit. It was pretty cold outside, and during the examination, the doctor had to push the hair aside to see properly.

When I was a child/teenager, I did a lot of sport. During this time, a thorough physical examination took place every six months. There was also an examination of the genitals. During puberty, the development of pubic hair and the hair under my arms was also documented. As part of the Tanner classification, it started with P1 - no hair. From P2 - light hair at the base of the penis - it became embarrassing. Then there were announcements like pubic hair P2. The same for the penis and testicles. For example: testicles G2 and penis G1. As puberty progressed, this became more and more embarrassing. After reaching stage G5, it was no longer commented on.

Since my early 20s, my pubic hair has always been shaved. This is never commented on during routine examinations such as skin cancer screening or urological screening.

Being quite an early bloomer as I remember yes our dr growing up looked and commented on stage of develop when I was quite young. No dr ever commented on post that era or the lack of it more to the point.

Being a late bloomer, they discussed the absence of any Hair until 15.

During a real exam a doctor commented that my public hair growth looked normal

Not commented on but definitely stared at lol

After i turned 10 I started to get pubic hairs and my pediatrician said instead of check-ups I should get physicals so we could talk about the changes happening to my body with puberty. When i saw my pediatrician 6 months later in the fall he asked if i noticed any changes and i replied just more hair and he replied lets take a look. Normally i trimmed my hairs but around 13 I was being teased in locker rooms for not hitting puberty so I let them grow out. At the end he asked if I had noticed any changes and I said not really. So said lay back and pulled my briefs down to check out my foreskin like he normally did. Only for him to pull them up immediately after and told me to sit up in a stern voice. He then pulled my briefs down under my balls like I was a kid again and gave my public hair a little tug not enough to hurt but enough to get my attention and said "you don't consider this a change?!" I replied not really and he laughed and told me to lay back down and then he pulled them down further when I was laying down. Did the standard foreskin retract and then felt my testicles to see what size they were at in the tanner staging.

My pubic hair started growing when I was around 9 or 10 but I only started shaving at 16. The first time I got a genital exam was at 14 at gynecologists' department the hospital. My pubic hair was commented but only that I'm pretty far in puberty. The same thing was told at 14 at the head to toe exam at the pediatrician.

At 16 and 17 before my gynecologic surgeries I was told not to shavd for 2 or 3 weeks before surgery to reduce the infection risk because of small cuts after shaving.
