You don't say for what reason you are having the procedure but yes, the whole of the pubic region should be shaved.
It will be to pass a small tube or catheter into your femoral artery and if there is any difficulty then with a completely shaved groin, the can cannulise the opposite side, although in 90% of cases one "go" is enough.
