Do Gynecologists Care?
(Forewarning: I was gonna post this in r/askwomen, but they require their posts to be short, so I’m asking it here because I am gay!)
Okay, so, my first gynecologist appointment is on Monday. I was supposed to see the same gynecologist about two months ago, but I flaked and ended up blowing the appointment off because of nerves. Weirdly enough, I think my biggest fear is my hair.
I don’t think I’m that worried about her perceiving my pubes. There’s plenty of people online who say gynecologists don’t care. But I don’t see any talk about thick leg hair.
It’s like the amazon on my legs. That hair has always grown really long. I used to be teased for it because I have blonde hair and that crap situation on my legs is basically brunette—it’s very visible and long. You could probably braid it. I never really learned how to shave my legs (I did learn how, but with my legs, it took forever, so eventually, I gave up, and the hair got out of control). I’ll probably try to trim it down as much as I can before my appointment, but there’s no way I’m getting all of that off without cutting myself.
So, my question is, do gynecologists care about leg hair? I’ve seen plenty of answers about the pubic hair, but not the legs. Answers would be great, and advice for anything else pertaining to the appointment would be appreciated too!!
