Pubic hair helps balance body temperature.
We all know that hair helps regulate body temperature, but how exactly? Hair follicles promote sweating.
Each hair follicle contains a sebaceous gland that delivers sebum to the hair, which in turn allows it to escape to the skin's surface. When the sebum disappears, it cools the skin with its latent heat.
Pubic hair actually protects you.
Pubic hair protects against diseases and skin problems. It prevents foreign particles, such as dust and pathogenic bacteria, from entering the body.
Pubic hair is composed of pheromones.
Scientists believe that pubic hair absorbs secretions called pheromones. These secretions attract us. The body releases more pheromones when we sweat, and these secretions are absorbed in the pubic hair area.
Increased risk of genital warts. Genital warts appear near or on the genital area. They appear as lumps or growths. They are usually whitish or flesh-colored. A person with genital warts is unaware of their condition. Removing pubic hair increases the risk of genital warts.
Molluscum contagiosum (viral infection).
Shaving or waxing pubic hair increases the risk of infection with the virus. Studies have shown that a lack of genital hair can increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as molluscum contagiosum, with shaving having the strongest association.
Molluscum contagiosum spreads easily, and it is believed that the virus may have spread primarily through autoinfection caused by scratching irritated skin during shaving.
It causes skin problems in the genital area.
Hair removal from the genital area naturally damages hair follicles, leaving microscopic, open wounds. Frequent hair removal is crucial for maintaining smoothness, which often causes irritation in shaved or waxed areas.
Many doctors report that they often see patients with boils and abscesses on the genitals caused by shaving, as well as cellulitis, an infection of the scrotum. Because these lesions occur in the intimate area, these skin problems are more bothersome than in other parts of the body.
Hair removal is more concerning for overweight or obese women.
A new study conducted in the US found that the risk of complications is twice as high in overweight or obese women and three times higher in women who have all their pubic hair removed, because the skin is denser in larger women.
