For patients undergoing IVF, it's important that there is a clear pathway through which to insert the sterile embryo catheter without running the risk of touching a stray hair and getting contaminated on the way in. Otherwise, it all just comes with the territory and is tolerable for the most part. There is one clear example where trimming the pubic area can have an effect on medical outcome.

Can you imagine looking and probing on odorous crotches and body parts for long - when all you can think of is to finish before you pass out from that horrendous odor?
