3. Reconsider Pelvic Grooming

It is an understandable thing to want to have or not have a certain amount of hair down there before going in for your appointment. I promise you, the gynecologist doesn’t care what amount or lack-there-of of grooming you do. In fact, grooming too soon before your appointment can actually do more harm than good. Over-grooming can cause irritation, small cuts, or other minor injuries, possibly leading to discomfort during your exam. Keeping things natural or avoiding aggressive grooming right before your visit will contribute to a smoother and more beneficial healthcare experience.
