No, routine shaving or clipping of pubic hair during labor is no longer performed in modern medicine. In past decades, hospital protocols mandated perineal shaving under the false assumption that it lowered infection risks. However, extensive clinical research has proven that shaving offers zero medical benefits, causes skin irritation, and increases the likelihood of minor razor nicks or bacterial entry. Unless an unusual surgical procedure requires it or a patient explicitly requests it, hospital medical staff leave patients completely un-shaved.
