Male pubic hair before exam

I usually just leave mine however it is. If I've trimmed, or shaved, it's not because I'm going to the doctor. I don't think mine has ever really cared either.

I try to keep things tidy but am not obssessed and only shave my sac. Other hair is trimmed down but I'd be self conscious shaving it all off and then going for an exam. As others say I doubt docs would comment, unless say examining a late teen with no signs of pubic hair when I expect there would be some questions.

Depending on my mood and social status, I vary from pure natural to trimmed to partially shaved to completely shaved.

The only time I changed my status for medical reasons was for a scheduled cardiac catheterization. I knew they need my groin shaved. As I was shaving during that time, I didn't want to miss the thrill of the skin prep. As the procedure was a month away, I stopped shaving to give the med tech something to work on.

Other than that, for a doctor's appointment, it is what it is.

I alternate between a landing strip or completely smooth. I don't change anything for the doctor. I shave all my other body hair so the can see that anyway. Actually the dermatologist likes it hairless so she can see any moles more clearly. They really don't care and I suspect some of them are smoothies too.

I used to be really self-conscious about that because I'm pretty hairy but I keep my bush and ball totally shaved. As long as you wash the thing before an exam, doctors don't care. I have had a couple slightly embarrassing suggestions to be careful about ingrown hairs though. I feel more concerned in public showers- then it feels like I'm flashing my kinks to everyone, but in the end it's just hair!

I am usually completely smooth but every now and then I let a small landing strip grow out. The doc sees the hair style of the moment.

I like to keep all my hardware shaved smooth! Regardless

I suspect that doing anything that's not the norm can induce some anxiety, like pubic shaving for men, maybe women, or piercings or some more unusual tattoos in unusual places, but we do them and love them and then the anxiety is when someone with authority of some kind might judge them and us negatively. C'est la vie. i feel the anxiety, but I also take a deep breath and tell myself if the doctor sees my shaved pubic area, he or she will see it and it won't be the first time and what they say will almost certainly be nothing, and what they think is no more or less than what I may think of them or others for thinking whatever it is they think!

so I just try to accept and live with it and the occasional moments of anxiety.

I've been Celibate for quite a while now and have grown El Natural. Even though I have always kept it baby soft bald or a Mr. T Mohawk with a thin strip just above the base. Nowhere else. Especially before I would go to the Doctor. Thankfully, my Doctor was Female and didn't ever judge or treat me different. Especially when she had to see my bald anus when she checked my prostate.

Just recently, I couldn't take the natural look anymore and took the weed whacker to town. I know I have A Doctors appointment in one month and will make sure I am trimmed and shaved for it. Since my Doctor left, I have no idea who will be looking in case they are thorough. I used to care about what they would think but don't anymore.

I normally keep my pubic hair neatly trimmed (no hair on the cock and balls and just a small, very short amount of hair left above them). Technically I wouldn't call it shaved, but it's really, really closely trimmed using a "man groomer" type of device. On days when I have any type of physical exam (even if I'm not expecting a genital exam), I make sure it's freshly trimmed. Instead of being ashamed or embarrassed, I'm just the opposite. Part of the reason why I'm doing it is so that I present myself as well groomed for my doctor. Why would I be embarrassed about that? I'm guessing that doctors today see all kinds of hair grooming on men and women (probably teenagers too).

I had all my body hair removed with laser hair removal several years ago. I have never had any comments from any doctor regarding not having hair. My last physical with my new female doctor went off like all my other physicals. Nothing said about not having hair. I don't think any medical professional would ever comment on your choices for personal appearance unless there was some medical relevance.

At the time I was considering hair removal I thought this might lead to some embarrassing situations but I have long since gotten over any potential embarrassment with how my body looks. I watch my weight and go to the gym regularly and I am comfortable in my own skin as the saying goes. I like the look and feel of having smooth healthy skin and I have not missed having any body hair.

Blonde curly pubic hair goes with the rest of my hairy body. If I were to shave it, it would likely grow back in stubble and potentially cause issues.

I tend to wear a jockstrap to exams, which doesn't envelop all of my pubic hair. I have received compliments on it being visible outside the pouch in my pics.

Shaved from navel to top of crack. I found that that as age advances the loss of hair ( except ears, eyebrows and ears) also advances. What is left has turned white. At last years annual I didn't even remove my t-shirt, just my socks and shoes. Been shaving the pubes for years because I prefer smooth for myself and my playmates. Just don't care for a big hairy bush, light hair is ok.

Make that eyebrows, ears, and nose

Well in general I trim it or shave it completely. When I see these old school adult films with people with all the body hair it just kind of grosses me out. But generally before I have an exam or a procedure I will make sure to shave. So the person performing the procedure doesn't have to deal with all the hair. I just recently had a colonoscopy and I definitely shaved my bottom so it be easier for them to perform the procedure and with less hair or in my case no hair it is easier to clean up any lubricant that they need to use.

In the past, the most grooming I'd do was a little trim with scissors -- the so-called "locker room cut" to remove a bit of hair at the base.

Recently I picked up a set of clippers and used them to shave my pubic area entirely. I liked it for a while. It was my little secret. But I got tired of it fairly quickly. It felt funny to be bald there but to still have body hair on my legs, my chest, under my arms, etc. It just seemed too abrupt. So now I continue to use the clippers with a close guard to leave just a bit.

I haven't thought about changing my grooming habits for a doctor's visit any more than I'd grow or shave a mustache/beard for a doctor's visit.

I've started trimming mine down a bit, but now have to decide because it's due again and I have a doctor visit in about a month.

I have been going in "natural." It seems that it would be better to not mess with things, because who knows if it's something the doctor would get information from.

I ordinarily trim the hair at the base of the penis so that it is flat against the lower abdomen and shave my scrotum. I think it is neater and also enhances the size of the penis and shows the wrinkled skin of the scrotum. I used to maintain this look for physicals. Since my penis really shrivels up and scrotum pulls up tightly toward my body when the anxiety of the exam sets in, the trim and shave did very little to make me feel more confident about my size. A number of years ago I decided to let the hair grow out to a natural pattern so that I have a full pubic bush and hairy scrotum when a physical was coming up. I started this practice to have the shriveled penis buried in the pubic hair to make it appear even smaller to maximize the embarrassment I feel over insecurity about the size and appearance of my genitalia. I really enjoy thinking about how small I appeared when the doctor saw my genitals and imagining how poorly I measured up to other guys he has seen. It makes for some good fodder for masturbation thinking back about the doctor seeing my shriveled hairy penis and scrotum.

I have never shaved my pubic hair before an exam. Only once in my life ... when I was much younger ... did I ever completely shave my pubes. I hated the look the moment that I did it and could not wait until my hair grew back. That was a huge mistake on my part. At times ... and vary rarely ... I have trimmed myself up and even shaved my ball sac only to let everything return to its natural state. Hairy and natural is the only way for me and I love to remove my underwear in front of a male doctor to reveal my natural bush!

I haven't attempted to trim my pubic hair. I don't have a raging forest so I don't think that it's too much. Like others, my penis will shrivel when I see a doctor and nestle in my pubic hair. Often I will attempt to free myself if there is time. I think that this is part of the overall experience!

I am not sure when trimming became a thing for guys? Perhaps it is more of a generational interest. Most men that I have seen in locker rooms, though with COVID that has diminished, do not shave. Sometimes allowing nature to take it's course is the better solution. I am also certain that aside from using an electric trimmer, I would be most uncoordinated in my efforts to trim. It would be very embarrassing to make a mistake and then need to wait months for it to grow back. Heck trimming the lawn is a challenge!

It would be very embarrassing to make a mistake and then need to wait months for it to grow back.

Hair grows back incredibly fast, at least mine does. Two weeks would be what I need to be able to appear as a more or less ordinary unshaven guy. It wouldn't be a bush, but probably nothing to remark on.

So, don't worry about having to wait months. It is not that long.

I would say that male grooming of body hair is far more popular than many believe. There are now a lot of products available for this very purpose like special delicate razors for the genital area as well as lotions for shaving and of course hair removal cream.

I am of the older generation and have only been "styling" my pubic area in more recent years, it feels good and the hair does grow back quickly even for someone like myself who has light coloured body hair. Also I am not in the least worried about being well trimmed when I visit the doctor, in fact it makes the experience even better.

It is understandable that some find the thought of being groomed in such a circumstance as embarrassing, the same being true for some who are intimidated (if this is the correct term) of being naked for an examination. I don't feel that way myself at all but maybe would have done when much younger and shall we say less experienced in life.

I keep smooth shaved below the belt front and back. I just had a colonoscopy and a comment was made about no tan lines but nothing about being smooth. so I wouldn't worry about trimming or shaving.

I shave between the cheeks and around my scrotum. I don't shave the pubic area because it leads to ingrown hairs for me. So that region is kept short with a pair of hair clippers.

Before an exam, I try to keep only the area of ​​the penis and scrotum smooth, leaving the hair on the pubis short, i do this only for my convenience and no doctor commented on it.

I never tend to trim before exams.

Especially during play exams, i enjoy when the doctor is thorough and examining my pubic hair.

I have gotten so that I am shaved clean. When asked, if ever, I say it makes it easier for me to clean up due to my overactive bladder. I can wash with soap and rinse myself off and I don't have to worry about any sort of infection.

Also when wearing a catheter, it makes my penis and the area cleaner and less chance of a UTI.

My Dr.s now don't care what I look like. I am close to 78 and I tell them what I do. They can think whatever they want to.

I’m always freshly shaved the day of my exam...I try And be as clean and tidy as possible front and back.

If you think medical professionals (nurses, PA's, doctors) might somehow think you are odd because you have trimmed or shaved your pubic hair, you shouldn't be.

They see so many bodies and really don't care what your grooming habits are or make judgements about your sex life just because you don't have pubic hair. Shaving or trimming is very common now. A while back I saw a Gillette TV ad on a national network that was advertising a razor that was specifically for shaving a man's body. They all but said for shaving pubic hair saying something like if you want to be smooth down there use this razor.

Consider this, the next time you are in for a doctor's appointment contemplate if all of the medical staff was naked. It's a sure bet that many if not most are shaving or trimming their pubic hair too.
