MORE women getting vajazzles and Brazilians has seen a five-fold increase in hospital admissions, research shows.

A study has revealed the number of women in hospital with cuts and infections after grooming their privates is on the rise.

Men still report more “genitourinary” injuries but women were also showing a worrying rise, a survey from the University of California in San Francisco said.

Lead researcher urologist Dr Benjamin Breyer said: “While women were overall less likely to endure genital injuries than their male counterparts, there was at least one exception: cuts and infections related to shaving or grooming pubic hair.

“The last few years have seen a dramatic increase in these types of injuries in women.

“A second study that was recently published by the same group found that these types of injuries increased five-fold between 2002 and 2010.”

Dr Breyer said safer techniques for grooming pubic hair could prevent such injuries.

The survey showed that older men were more likely to sustain genital injuries during routine activities, such as slipping into a split and hitting their groin on the edge of the bathtub.

They were also more likely to be hospitalised for their injuries.
