So, here's the thing…

Today, I nearly sliced my nipple off while shaving my chest and had to go to the ER. Turns out it was a teaching hospital so I got to explain in front of two doctors and eight med students how, even though I'm a woman, my nipples are so hairy I have to shave them. FML

Ah, that sucks there were all those med students there. Then again, watching doctors in the field is the breast way to learn.

22% of women have visible hair on their breasts.

That sucks, but i would get that checked out- more than a few hairs could be a hormonal imbalance

That's ****** up. I was eating when I read that! ::barfs::

You can definitely request to not be seen by students or have so many people around, but please keep in mind that we students can't become good doctors unless we get experience. Most of the time, all we'll do is ask you questions, check in on you, and do a basic physical. Any invasive procedures will be run by you before we're allowed to do anything and someone is right over our shoulder anyway. I'd be surprised if there really were 8 students there though. I'm at a fairly large school and we usually have no more than four at once and if the patient's being exposed, they limit it to the one or two people working directly with them.

I pluck mine, hopefully you don't feel too bad about having hairy nipples, because it's just hair.

From your profile picture, it looks like you need to pluck your eyebrows a bit more. (At least you have two of them.) Call me when you take care of that -- you look hot.

AH! why would you shave your nipples it itches like hell if you let it grow back!

I think she means that they are so hairy that plucking them would take too long so shaving is a better option, and as someone pointed out, Nair warns against using in nipple area. that does suck though OP. and for the person who said to leave the hair, thats easier said than done, because when u have long hairs sprouting out of your nipples, even if there arent that many, it can et embarrassing, especially in front of the person you are having sex with. Some guys might be into it, but I think most guys would be blunt enough to criticise the girl for it.

PLEASE look up Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. I have it, its a disease that among other things causes hirsutism or excess hair growth in areas like that. It may be just how your body is but check it out just in case.
