Pubic hair is also part of body hair. As hair, it covers our sensitive parts and has some strange functions.
However, when it comes to pubic hair, everyone will be a little shy, because of this little shyness, we all have some unspeakable problems in our hearts.
It doesn’t matter, Ding Dong has thought it over for you all the questions you want to ask most. Next, let’s answer some questions about pubic hair.
How many pubic hairs do people have?
Is it true that anyone is bored enough to count one by one…
Well, in general, every adult has about 3,000 pubic hairs. Pubic hairs, like hair, also fall off and change every six months on average.
Is there any difference between pubic hair and hair?
It doesn’t make any difference.
Dr. Sudo of Japan’s Hair Medical Science Research Institute believes that:
Both hair and pubic hair are the same hair. They are exactly the same in structure, except that the curly shape, growth and life span of hair vary with different body parts.
Do pubic hair turn white when people get old?
Yes.
As you get older, pubic hair will gradually become scarce and gradually change from black to white. This is mainly regulated by hormone levels. The pubic hair of the elderly will gradually fall off or even disappear.
Is pubic hair really useful?
Pubic hair is not redundant. Speaking of which, it is still of some use.
Pubic hair can reduce the friction between sexual organs and clothes and reduce the risk of skin damage.
In sexual life, due to the delicate skin of women’s private parts, direct skin friction may cause some discomfort, while pubic hair can play a buffering role, reduce impact and mutual friction, and avoid pain or injury caused by too severe movements.
On the other hand, pubic hair can also produce slight friction in sexual life and stimulate pleasure.
Does too thick pubic hair affect health?
Some people like to shave off pubic hair, believing that if pubic hair is dirty, it will be unkempt and dirty.
In fact, pubic hair is not dirty. As mentioned above, it has a protective effect on vulva and can prevent dirt from invading directly to a certain extent.
Therefore, whether pubic hair is thick or not is not the key point, the key point is to keep clean.
Is there a problem with too sparse pubic hair?
The presence and density of pubic hair mainly depend on two factors:
-
Androgen levels in the body (yes, you are right, women also have androgens in their bodies);
-
Sensitivity of pudendal hair follicles to androgen.
In rare cases, some diseases can also cause sparse pubic hair, such as hypothyroidism, inflammation, tumors, trauma and some congenital diseases.
However, the pubic hair of healthy adults is sparse, mostly just a simple physiological phenomenon. It is very likely that the armpit hair and other body hair of this person are also relatively sparse, which has no effect on the health of the body.
This has nothing to do with sexual ability and fertility. There is no need to worry about it and there is no need to feel inferior.
Well, there is no reliable way to increase pubic hair for the time being…
Would it be better to shave off?
Whether to shave or not, or whether to trim it into other shapes, is actually a cultural issue and has little to do with health.
If you like to wear bikinis in summer and are afraid of embarrassment, of course you can choose medical beauty methods such as laser depilation.
It is not impossible to depilate yourself at home, but you need to be careful. After all, the skin there is tender and improper operation may cause folliculitis.
In addition, you shave your hair at home, and when stubble grows again, you will realize that what is called “time flies” [on pins and needles]…
Um… Don’t ask Ding Dong how he knew about this.
