Has your Pubic hair been commented on during an exam?

Only time I've had any comments by a doctor was when I shaved my pubic hair and then got lots of infected ingrowing hairs when it started to grow back. On inspecting the area, he told me that I was susceptible to infection and appeared susceptible to ingrown hairs. As such i was told that I must not shave my pubic hair again, as I would quite likely get even more ingrown hairs & the infection would likely be worse - and potentially dangerous given my medical conditions.

So did you stop? Or perhaps use other methods like a hair removal cream? This won't leave any small cuts as often happens with shaving.

Yes, I did stop shaving. I occasionally trim instead.

I recall a couple of times during early teen years where the doctor would say things like "everything is developing normally" and once "you'll continue to see hair fill in more and that is normal". But beyond those times, I've never had a medical person make any comments on hair anywhere.

I don’t remember a comment directly about pubic hair but the overall development was definitely commented on, just like others mentioned in their comments. But this might simply be how the doctor phrases the comment or maybe I just don’t recall it being said.

This has never happened to me… but I am always waxed so I guess it’s possible it could happen to others? It seems very unlikely in a real medical setting though

At a school exam what I was 13 doctor asked me when I started growing pubic hair. I didn’t remember exactly when and said not long ago.

I have never had that happen during an exam.

Yes, at my annual physical my internist pokes through my pubic hair before parting my labia. At my very first physical with him he mentioned it’s very healthy to have, it was so embarrassing.

During the school exam, when I was 13,5 almost 14, the doctor asked me if I removed my pubic hair or if there was no hair growth yet. I remember being quite embarassed that I didn't have any hairgrowth worth mentioning overthere ...

I did have some hairs, really short and apart from that I still was bald. At that moment they decided I was late starting puberty and needed follow-up exams every 6 months following that exam, in the same place with the same doctor. (ofcourse after a meeting with my parents)

Well, touched, yes obviously. But commented on? No memory of that.

@FDNM_patient

How those follow up exams were done?

@Kulemh

Those exams were actually quite complete physicals, where I was either naked during about half of the exam or naked from start till the end of the exam. Additionally, at the start of every exam a blood sample was taken also.

At my senior school medical age 14/15 the doctor certainly looked at my pubic & underarm hair as part of the examination, presumably as a development check, but never commented on. I expect there was a box to tick on the examination form but never shown it.

My Dad took me to his doctor starting at 13, doc examined and commented on my armpit and pubic hair at that and subsequent exams. I was hairy for my age and doc would make comments about that with my dad adding in that he was also hairy for his age growing up.

During my first well woman, with my moms gynie, yes.

I was nude under gown, and when placed, he made a comment.

After that, next check was college admissions, then current internist. No need for comments now.

As far as I can remember, during 5th to 8th grade did the Dr. ever tell me I was developing "normally". I did notice I was an early bloomer in the pubic hair area as when I started 5th grade. We had PE class and needed to change from school clothes into the "school PE uniform" issued with the school mascot and colors! Well needless to say when I took my underwear off and put on a jock, there was a lot of looks. I had the pubic hair really coming in as well as the arm pit hair. Boys noticed!

I only had one genital exam during puberty, at age 13, and, if I remember correctly, I already had pubic hair. However, the doctor made no comment on this, he only said that he was checking whether my testicles had descended, which would have been too late at that age. It is possible that he had also noted the Tanner stage and the fact that I was circumcised.

When I was 15 I started developing pubic hair in my underarms and crotch. I had a few health challenges and my doctor was pleased with my progress. Thankfully she declined hormone treatment. She looked me in the eye and said I was on my way to manhood and reassured me she was my advocate during this challenging time.

When I had my first exam, I was already shaving "down there". The doctor never commented on my (lack of) pubic hair.

I remember as a teenager during physical exams my doctor would look at and touch my pubic hair while examining my genitals. I think that was mostly done while checking my groin for any issues, testicular exam, hernia check, etc. My doctor never commented specifically on my pubic hair but he would just say something along the lines of, everything is developing normally. As an adult, the only comment I've seen on the form is Tanner Stage 5.

The only time a dr commented on my pubic hair was in reference to puberty. Mentioning that everything was normal for someone my age.

Well back in the spring of 2022 when I went to see a surgeon about getting a hernia fixed, after he told me to pull down my pants and underwear, well he was surprised to see that I was wearing black cotton grannie panties, and even more surprised when I pulled those down to reveal that I was completely shaved, but he never said a word about.

Yes, the pediatrician sayd "here the hairis grow well"

I had a very early puberty. Summer before the 6th grade I had already developed a full bush and my legs were hair covered. Mandatory gym showers in 7th grade ... I was much more developed than my peers. Pit hair, happy trail, and extremely hairy nipples encouraged me to volunteer my team to be the designated "skins." This allowed me to display my ever changing body.

Although I do not recall a doctor ever commenting specifically on my my pubic hair, my early hair distribution and genital development were quite obvious. My classmates would jokingly refer to me as "Harry" but the badge of honor came from my father noticing and commenting on my development.

As a teenager yes my doctor commented on my pubic hair as she tanner staged me. My pubic hair and penis were the last thing puberty finally changed. So for a while the comments were mostly about the lack of pubic hair. Once I started getting pubic hair the comments changed and pretty much ended once I tanner staged completely.

I do keep mine trimmed every couple of weeks i do not like it to get bushy and that is because my companions complain about pubic hairs when giving oral and i do care about them and i keep it trimmed should they don't have a mouthful of hair. I also do not care for a lot of hair on my balls or my butt. Sometimes i will run into guys at the gym that look like gorillas with all the hair especially on their back and to me that is repulsive. The hair that is in my pubic region is either totally shaved or very short and my companions like it that way

I may have written about this previously so apologies if it is a repeat of a post on a different thread.

I experienced a very late breaking of my voice as part of puberty, approaching age 19 it still had not broken so I visited my GP.

He carried out quite a thorough assessment of my development including examining both pubic and underarm hair growth, commenting that both were as to be expected. He also questioned me about erections, masturbation and ejaculation.

I was subsequently referred to a specialist where a similar examination was carried out

Mine hasn't been commented on in a real exam at least

@rew2010 ... right there with you buddy! Early bloomer too! Hairy legs, pit hair, and thick pubes before the 6th grade. I loved stripping down ... putting on a jock ... and pretending to ignore the onlookers. 😉

Fortunately, my father ... single parent ... and I shared a bathroom at the time. He had acknowledged my more matured development as soon as things began to change ... assuring me it was completely normal ... stated the same had happened to him ... but pointed out that I would most likely be more developed than almost all of my peers. He was right ... I had larger genitals and the body hair distribution of someone two to three years older. Those were the days!
