How many of you have been shaved before an operation?

Back when I was a teen I got shaved before an appendectomy. I don't recall it, it must have happened after they knocked me out. I just know I woke up bare as a baby.

When I had my first child in '82 I was shaved before delivery (got a triple H too) by the nurse. I was not for my subsequent 2 (different hospital and doctor).

I've not been medically shaved since.

@Nurse_Phillips Shaving does not sound too bad (it probably itches when growing back though?), but the HHH enema sounds very uncomfortable.

@Jacana they were both unpleasant and unnecessary. Worse, the enema didn’t even accomplish its purpose, I pooped during delivery anyway.

I was shaved in the pubic region prior to having a couple of stents placed through the groin. Orderly used an electric trimmer ( like one used for beards). The process was rather irritating as he firmly pressed down while doing it. I have no recollection of being shaved or not during my vasectomy.

BTW, I was awake for both procedures.

Shaved both wrists and groin for an angio in case they needed a spot

they were both unpleasant and unnecessary. Worse, the enema didn’t even accomplish its purpose, I pooped during delivery anyway.

When we were still young and my wife started out on her first jobs in hospitals, she liked telling these kind of details you don't normally hear about when the wonders of childbirth are talked about.

Then we'd laugh about how this was depicted in movies when a police officer helps deliver a baby in a car. They always came out pristine and clean, with not a trace of blood, slime, mucus, piss or shit on them from the delivery. No one ever complained about the condition of the car afterwards either ... ha ha.

That said, I think she was kind of surprised and a bit put off by all the bodily functions that came into play during some deliveries.

I myself was pretty grossed out, so when my sister-in-law asked me to take photos of her home-delivery and it fell through because of complications, I was ever so relieved.

No, never, I am shaved anyway

I have been shaved completely (except my head) the evening before a heart surgery about 3 years ago.

A 2nd time it happened a year later when I had an abdominal surgery after a "lucky" find there was something wrong while taking a thorax x-ray a few days after the heart surgery...

When I had to get an ECG they shaved my chest in the places where they'd put the sensors.

I had an emergency appendectomy several years ago. Sadly, I was shaved while under anesthesia and not while I was conscious to observe or otherwise experience the process. The surgery was performed through the laparoscope. After I had been assigned a room following the surgery and had a sense of privacy, I lowered the sheet and raised the hospital gown to look at the damage. I observed a very small incision in my navel which had a single stitch in it and another small incision on my lower tight abdomen with a couple of stitches covered with tape. That is the point I learned that I had been shaved, there was an obvious rectangle from just above my navel to the base of my penis which extended further to my right than left. I was so bummed I was not able to experience this, as well as the lack of symmetry and ugly appearance of the end result. Shortly after that, a nurse on the floor came in to check on me and asked if she could see the wounds so I pulled the sheet down and my gown was still up above my stomach from my exploration. My penis was completely exposed as she closely observed the surgical wounds, sadly I couldn’t enjoy this bit of a CFNM experience because of the lingering effects of the anesthesia and late night hour. The hair growing back did suck as others have previously mentioned.

I've has several surgeries "down there," and have been shaved every time, front and back.

A number of years ago I had hernia surgery. As I was prepared a young cute assistant began prepping me. She started trimming up down there and I ...er... responded slowly (I was 45-50) . The Dr came in to check on things and called her away for a minute. WELL... I woke up and was bald as a baby down there! I would have enjoyed the removal of ALL the hair!

I had it done for my genital surgery when young. I remember the nurse asked me to follow her for preparation in a room with an examination chair and a sort of bacin between legs rests. She made me undress and accomodate. My genitals were sponge cleaned and shaved accurately. She seems to be very accostumed to the procedure while I was terribly embarassed. It also happened before a few urology procedures I undergone.

For hip replacement surgeries, shaved groin and upper thigh. They used some sort of vacuum attachment on the trimmer to take up all the hair.

When getting a heart stent, a couple of cheery old nurses said they had to shave both groins, even though they use only one, in case one didn't work well so they had to go to other side. It was an experience. They pushed my bed down the hall and I saw the ceiling lights going by, just like on a TV show. I was dozing comfortably and someone said "all through". I felt like I had only been there for a minute and said "did you do anythina.g? One nurse said "Yeah, a half hour ago". Good anesthesia!

I had the left and right side of my pubic area shaved for an ablation I had got done. About a hour before surgery the nurse told me that she would have to shave me down there to prep for my surgery.
