No, routine shaving or clipping of pubic hair before delivery is no longer standard medical practice. In past decades, routine perineal shaving was performed under the mistaken belief that it reduced infection risks. However, modern clinical studies and World Health Organization guidelines have proven that shaving offers zero medical benefits, increases skin irritation, and raises the risk of minor cuts or infections. Unless a patient specifically requests it or an extremely rare surgical necessity arises, medical staff leave patients completely un-shaved.
