Pre-op shaving

Thanks Man of Our Time...

Yes, it was an open incision procedure, but sadly no - during the shave they did not drape me at all, I was totally naked throughout 😢

I was shaved for abdominal surgery in the late 60s when I was about 16. A male nurse dry shaved me from knees to navel and during it told me how he enjoyed shaving women patients especially ones who had shaved at home before coming into hospital as he could insist on checking them anyway. Even at the time I was surprised at him telling me this though whether he was telling the truth I'll never know. Later on he brought a young student female nurse in behind the screens around my bed and on some excuse completely exposed me to her I would imagine these days such behaviour would see him dismissed.

I was shaved in hospital before my appendix operation. It was done by the nurse who used two dry razors, it wasn't uncomfortable so perhaps the blades had some type of lube on them. My lower belly and everything between the legs was shaved. It was a long time ago and I expect they don't bother nowadays. I wasn't shaved for my vasectomy, but that was done much more recently and of course a very minor procedure.

Had another cardiac cath yesterday. Shaved in the pre-op area by a young female tech. I was shaved from belly to mid thigh and hip to hip. Even though I shave my groin, she did it again. She had a folded towel over my genitals. I told her I wasn't modest, she just did her thing.

Shaving was done with an electric clipper with disposable heads.

It feels so good that I think I'll keep it that way.

I have had two hernia operations. I shaved the left side myself at the surgical center and the right side I shaved at home.

Actually, as of last week, they do. Had my appendix out - it hadn't ruptured yet but was pretty bad. It was done with laparoscopic tubes, one inserted in my navel, on down south directly in the area where I used to have pubic hair. I was told that was intentional, to hide scars.

Sadly I didn't get to experience the shaving (or the catheter) as they knocked me out and I awoke to find out that had been done. The bandages itch like crazy now in part because the hair is starting to grow back.

Here is an old Archie Bunker clip. Good ol Archie is about to get his pubes shaved by a female and he is not happy. http://laughloudtoday.blogspot.com/2013/04/archie-bunker-gets-private-area-shaved.html

The clip is hilarious.

You forgot one thing. He is being seen by a BLACK female which makes it even more funny to watch Archie.

The current medical standard is clipping of a minimal area just before the procedure. This has shown to significantly reduce the incidence of surgical wound infection. Of course, each surgeon has their preference and each facility has a local standard.

Shaving, no matter how skilled, leaves the skin with microscopic lacerations that are an entry port for bacteria.

I had a hernia operation last year and was shaved in the OR after they put me under. When I woke up a was hairless from my belly button to my balls on both sides. Wish I could have watched the nurse while she did it.

You could have, just demand that all the non painful procedures be completed before you go under.

My new lover Yowza had a hernia repair surgery today. It's his fourth hernia and fourth surgery so he's been through it enough to know the drill. He said they partially shaved him for the last one. The hernia enlarged while he awaiting a surgery date so a greater area may have to have been shaved today. I haven't heard from him yet. He's supposed to call or email me when he's able to do so. Hopefully he'll post a report about his pre-surgery shaving soon.

In high school I had an Inguinal hernia on the right side. I think I was a sophomore. I had to have surgery. I was admitted the night before for preparation. I was completely shaved by a male nurse. At the time I would have been totally uncomfortable with a female nurse. The nurse used a kit that had a dual sided single blade razor in it and used betadine to moisten the area. After I was shaved I really enjoyed the feeling of having no hair. I ended up masturbating that night. I had fantasies afterward of wearing a women's swimsuit under my pajamas so they had to cut if off before they could shave me.

For my last cardiac catheterization, even though they were planning to use my wrist, they clipped both sides of my groin, from hip bone to hip bone and almost to my knees. I used to shave only my pubes. I liked the new look so much that I've kept it that way since. Of course I've added my genitals, they didn't

In all the years of dealing with sisters ,wife, daughters I don't ever recall any of them having to shave for a Pap test. I know you said you didn't know why but it makes me wonder.

Being shaved had it's up side. That is how I met my wife of 37 years. She was a nurse who came in to shave me before my last operation.

@jhenson16 Wow. Now THAT'S a story to tell your grandchildren when they ask how you two met. 😃

When I had my ovaries and Fallopian tubes, as well as a ten cm ovarian cyst removed in February, I was not shaved. The cyst proved too large to be removed with a bikini line cut so my surgeon used a vertical cut instead.

For a cardiac catherization, I got what someone below called the pubic Mohawk shave. I ended up with a narrow strip of hair directly above my penis. I had been pushed into the catherization lab on a hospital bed and then just laid there while a nurse did the shave with an electric razor that I couldn't see. Didn't take long. I had a vasectomy before that and there was no shaving at all. I was surprised because I had been told that I would be completely shaved down there.

I have had female do it several times. They always were very cafeful about exposing only what was needed and were trained to do it properly and didn't want you to do it.

Never had to be shaved for real but so dream of it nurse entering behind curtain on the ward and shaving me bald

Not shaved my knee before operation , OK ? I know I am so hairy on legs and arms as the glass of a lamp . . .

Two days after the knee operation I have to change the two little "rustinnes" on my knee , well yes I am hairy they are verin thin and blond , and they are a lot , I feeled them when removing the sticking who was on my skin ...

Shaved or depilated seems to be more comfy when removing the sticking-plasters .

Havnt had any surgery or been shaved in a medical setting. But I have had my chest shaved in a spa setting.

A 'number' of years ago, I had a double hernia repair performed [umbilical and inguinal] Dr's. then were sticklers regarding hair removal in and around the surgical site. Thus, I was prepped from mid-stomach to mid-thigh.

I had two hernias repaired about 5 years ago. Entire pubic area was shaved, but it was done after I was put to sleep.

I have had it don 3 times. The first two were done 25 years ago. The first was a vasectomy and the urologist (male) did it himself-shaved the perineal area. The second was done by a male, a few hours prior to a hernia operation. He shaved from my navel down to the top of my thighs - kind of over kill. The last was done 7 years ago, but it was done in the operating room, after I was under. These days they don't want it done outside the operating room because of the worry of infection.

I had been shaved for an operation, from the waist to mid tights by a male nurse. he said, "you will return to your thirteenth years old".

I was told to shave myself before a vasectomy. Did it in the bathtub with a new razor. Haven't felt the need to shave my pubic area since.

Lol.. Glad I stay shaved all the time.. squeeky clean.. lol

Mine was partly shaved for a hernia surgery several years ago.

I was shaved about 2 years ago for a surgery. They shaved me from my chest to mid-thigh. I had a female nurse shaving me but she did a great job of keeping my covered.

The one time I had hernia surgery in the late 1990's, they shaved me after I was in the operating room and out like a light. I was fully expecting to be shaved and kind of apprehensive about having a female nurse do it. They were busy prepping me for the IV and what not, and no mention of shaving the area, so I asked about it and was told that they do that in the surgery arena now. I thought OK no problem and everything went pretty smooth.
