Large female pubic bone.

This was a comment I found and I HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME THING! I need to know how I can correct this! You have no idea the suffering we go through on a day to day basis looking like you have a male part instead of a female anatomy. I don't feel like a complete woman. I cannot wear sexy underwear and don't get me started on what wearing a swimsuit feels like or anything that's tight, so I'm always wearing things that are baggy and I'm soooooooooooooo tired of it. My Gynecologist says it normal, WHAT????????????!!!!!!!!! It's not normal for a female to have a LARGE bone sticking out! Believe me, you would not want to be me....
There has to be a surgical proceedure to reduce the bone there, so we can feel like women again.
See below...




when i started discovering my body as a young girl, i realized something different from everyone elses. my vagina looks really bony. when i lay down flat, my pelvic bone is protruding out. even standing up, i can see a big bump. more than normal from what i have seen. i have been told by friends "oh you have big vagina" and it really bothers me. i am embarrassed to be intimate. i did research but didnt come across anything. i'm 25 now and am still embarrassed to go to a doctor. i dont know what the problem really is. i used to crack my lower back, i dont know if that would do anything to it? but i dont feel any pain or anything. just physically, its very different, bony, and embarrassing from what i see. i've been told by several family members " are you wearing a pad" because its that noticeable. i know that if it was from birth, my mom would notice. because now they tell me things like you have fat, big, vagina. i really need to do something about it, but need to know what? and need to know what the problem really is and what may have caused it? and what kind of doctor i should see. and how i should explain it. please answer my questions asap. i cant take it anymore, and i find it embarrassing to share it w/ anyone else.

Lololol im starting to not care what ppl think of my vagina if they think its a **** then so be it. I even tried losing weight to reduce the size but oh well. Improving your posture helps a bit. Dnt slouch. Im now the weight im supposed to be at 131 lbs and its still huge but heard its very popular in South America to have a large looking vagina. So maybe me and my bf should go there for a vacation. Btw im 23 years old and really do not care about ppl opinions

Hello I am a 28 experienced man. I've read every post from the beginning. I am deeply hurt that you women don't realize how beautiful you are. Its also amazing the amount of men who have pleaded on the forum to no avail. I have a girlfriend who has this "problem" what problem you ask? She has a massive mound and fat/bone.She is chased around the house daily if she shows it. Its actually the first thing I noticed. Oddly enough she thought it was normal and thought women who didn't have this cushion were deformed lol. The real problem I think you guys have to fear is the men you have to beat back. It also makes men obsessed with pleasing you especially orally. I kiss her softly everyday, twice her mound which she thinks is silly..I have many friends of all ages and races..Men Love it..I have  had that 'perfect shape' girlfriend prior, she wanted what you have, as well bigger boobs,butt, lips, better complexion etc.. it never ends. I'm starting a social movement for you guys to know you are loved by the billions of Men and Women out there. Thank You for existing seriously..

Its embarassing, its like its a buldge and my worse nightmare is for someone to wonder if im a guy because of it. its real big and i never truly noticed it till my boyfriend grabbed it and starts saying how i have a big vagina because of it. It gets me mad i wish i were flat. I got lipo in the area but i cant even tell it was done, yet i have the scars to prove it and its squishy flesh, so the doctor didnt address the area how i would like so i wasted a big load of money which im still in debt for. sometimes i think its the Hanes underwear i wear, because it almost encourages the buldge because the outlining of the underwear tug and the cloth parts are loose.

Yes same I am only 13 but started feeling self concious about this at the age of 10, like most girls/teenage girls we all feel self concious about sizes and just our body in general since our appearances are so quickly judged by everyone around us and social media, but we shouldn't be effected by what others think more of what you think of yourself, I'm weird but work it be more confident about it so what if they judge you they just want to feel better about themselves by putting others down even if they don't say anything you know they judge but so what even you yourself judge people so just be confident because everyBODY (see what I did there), is different and you shouldn't be ashamed of what you got. The more confident you are about yourself means all people will see is your confidence and happiness they won't care about your flaws ( BTW if all they see is flaws they aren't your friends), love you're body, love your and what you got, be unique, be kind to others, be confident, but most importantly BE YOURSELF!!!! (I know this is weird coming from a 13 year old but even adults can be uncomfortable and self concious I just want to spread some kindness, now go out there be the change we need!!!!!!!)

Im so glad I found this forum. I have a daughter who inherited my body type down there and it has been concerning to me as it can mean that she will go through the same difficulties and insecurities that comes with a prominent pubic bone. I hope one day, there'll be a safe way to reduce it.

hey.. i know i’m super late to this but i have been having the same problem. i’m only 17 and i’ve always hid this insecurity. i did research and the only thing that came up for any surgical procedure is to remove fat.. but mine isn’t fat, it’s the bone that’s sticking out. i don’t know what to do either, i hardly ever wear swimsuits because i’m insecure as well.

Hi, just found this thread and signed up to say I have this too!  Can I ask a question of you ladies..? When you have a pap smear, does your gyno say that your cervix is facing towards your back a bit, or a lot? My cervix certainly doesn't face straight down as it should. I think its all connected. Then I remember once I saw a chiropractor who took an X-ray of my spine and looked at me like I was an alien when he saw the X-rays, he said something about a deformity in my spine. I'm certainly glad I'm not alone, as I always thought I was. I remember being a child and bathing with a  friend and if we were laying down in the bath tub, my bone stuck right out, whereas my friend's didn't. I've been self-conscious about it for a long, long time. I'm almost 51, Australian, and have given birth 3 times.

Well I’m currently 16 and remember noticing it when I was about 13, and being a teenage girl in 2020 and having this isn’t what I would call fun. Like basically everyone else said, I haven’t worn pants since I was about 12-13 so I stick to shorts because it is less noticeable but it’s really starting to get to me. Obviously cause I’m 16 I can’t and most likely in the future won’t get plastic surgery because that just ain’t my thing but I am really hoping there is a way to fix it or at least reduce it. I use to think I was just because I was a little bit chubby but now that I have lost a bit of weight and I am starting to gain muscle I can tell that it’s ain’t fat or extra skin. And to make matters SOOO much funner, my mum isn’t the person to care about things like this so her response is “honey your beautiful” ...and it’s not really helpful, low key kinda makes me feel worse so if anyone has a non surgical fix to this, PEALSE tell me!! Thank you!

I’m 13 and I have this too. This completely ruins my self esteem. I never noticed I had it until around a year ago, when I started dance. We have to wear leotards and it is super obvious that my pubic bone is protruding. I can’t wear the clothing that I like because of this. I still wear leggings but I am super uncomfortable because when I look down, I can see a huge bump. One of the biggest problems it caused for me is when I do backbends and splits, the bump is VERY visible. I used to love doing backbends but now I am scared and embarrassed because I don’t want people noticing it. Also, when I lay on my back, it sticks out a ton. When I lay on my front, it hurts because it is sticking into the ground. My goal is to find some exercises or stretches I can do to reduce it. That’s all I want! Someone please help!

Hi there.  I by no means mean to minimize how you feel but can tell you as a person much older and been through a lot, that this is a non issue with men.  In fact, many men like it.  And the one you want to be with is the one who likes everything about you.  Wear a little less tight stuff if you think it is noticeable.  But if lots of folks are staring at your crotch, you need to find a new crowd to hang out with.  :>)  I have a 14 year old son and a 15 year old son.  Let me box their ears if they are staring at crotches when talking to a girl.  Seriously though, not even on their radar.  Not a big deal.  Again, not minimizing your feelings. But you are at a super self conscious age in which you think people are judging and watching you much more than they really are.  good luck

I used to think that I had a large pubic bone and could not wear any type of pants without having a shirt long enough to cover it. But one day, I was reading this article about the posterior pelvic tilt and exercises on how to correct it. I thought, why not give it a try? It's free and I don't have to go under the knife, so I really had nothing to lose. After 10 days, I could see a noticeable difference! It seemed like my pelvic is shifting inwards, so the bulge is not as noticeable anymore. For the first time in my life, I was able to wear slacks with my shirt TUCKED IN! It was such a great feeling! Don't get me wrong, there still is a slight bulge there, but I hope a few weeks more of these exercises will make it normal again. I can't wait to see the results!

The female pelvic bone has evolved to its maximum width for childbirth and the male pelvic bone has been optimized for bipedal locomotion.

I have it too. As a teen girl this makes my insecurities skyrocket. Afraid to be sexually active because I feel I will be judged or asked "why do you look like that?". It's absolutely terrifying. I hate having to do things like backends in yoga portion of gym class because I know someone is going to notice. I don't have a regular doctor and I'm terrified to tell my mom (we aren't very close). I don't know what to do. I don't want to go out in public or swimming even though I love swimming. I understand exactly how you feel and I'm sorry I can't help very much but I suggest you just be upfront to your doctor. Doctors are there for all those weird questions that you need a professional answer too (at least that's what I've been told). If you do find a way to fix this please contact me via email. I would love to know what I can do if there is anything I can do. My email is ***@****

I’m 14, Our school offers Yoga, Workouts, or regular gym, and I got stuck with yoga, so I’m constantly worrying about it. And you said you like swimming? I am a swimmer, I swim year round, 6 days a week. It’s mortifying...

The act of giving birth is effected by the bones and ligaments in the pelvis, not by the size of the pubis. Having a small/large pubis won't make any difference.  Most women have a pelvis that is wide enough to give birth adequately.  Cephalopelvic Disproportion is when the pelvis is too narrow for a baby to come out of the birth canal without intervention.  You cannot tell whether or not a woman will have this problem by looking at the shape or size of her body.

13 and I have this too. It's really hard to accept because i can't be like the other girls who could freely sway their hips to their front or lie down on their fronts without feeling the pain and have no worry about it. But I do accept it - what am I supposed to do other than take it as a fact? I've always thought this was normal, but it wasn't before I was 12 when I fully realized that this is so not normal for a girl. Though now that I see there are tons of girls out there who carry the same burden, well, then it's normal. Quite. Hahaha. I do have one question though: Is childbirth painful with a protruding pubic bone, or is it easier to deliver?

I have it too and I hate it when I have to lie on my back in front of people (like in the gym or on the beach). I'm always aware of it, I can't wear leggings or tight pants and it's apart of me having low self esteem.

I am in my 50's  I spent most of my life not thinking this was a thinig.  Until one day a woman I knew made a random comment that I knew was meant to attack my insecurities that men don't like large pubic bones.  I still didn't think much of it because I had never had a man say anything one way or another.  Never came up.  It has only been recently with the onslaught of pics and porn that I noticed that the women portrayed don't have this.  That is what brought me to this post.  I am so glad to hear from the male readers that they enjoy this in their women.  In my experience, the men in my life have always quite enjoyed spending a lot of time down "there".

I have the same issue. It may not be that we have a large pubic bone but a pelvic tilt. The title can be posterior or anterior. Mine is a posterior tilt which is far less common am than an anterior. There are exercises and stretches that can help but I have also heard a chiropractor can help. good luck all:)

You can get liposuction on your vagina if you want to look into that :)

This would work if she just had a more than usual amount of fat there. It sounds like the problem is the bone protruding, which I think a plastic surgeon could shave down.  Lipo would only attack the fat.

I've had back problems and been to the chiropractor frequently. My hips are tilted because of my back problems, so the bottom is farther forward than it seems it should be, so I also have this problem. I would go to themx get an adjustment, and get exercises or stretches to help keep everything in alignment. That's probably what it is. If you like pop your butt out does it go away? Probably. Your hips are probably just tilted and some stretches and exercises will help you keep it where it should be :)

There is no fat on the bone, and it is just bone. I've noticed this since i was about 7 and my mum even took me to the doctor about it when i was 5. They said you cant do anything about it. IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A BONE TO STICK OUT AN INCH OUT OF MY BODY. I'm 14 now and i have no body confidence (I'm pale with around 200 moles and freckles on my body, and you can see it through everything. Its even worse at school as we have to wear really tight skirts, and the PE shorts are so tight you can see it. You can even see it through non skinny jeans and flowy pattered trousers. Surely there is some treatment (like braces or spine curvature) to push down on it and change the bone shape gradually? I cant go to friends beach parties without having a breakdown of tears if anyone says anything about it. I have only found one bikini that actually disguises my mound. Luckily it was only £6 so i have literally bought 20 of them. CAN SOMEONE HELP I CANT LIVE MY LIFE LIKE THIS

My dearest ladies PLEASE PLEASE read this.  I wish someone had said this to me years ago.  It would have saved me from so many years of emberassment.  I am now 39, but as you know, we were born with our protruding pelvic bones.  So have you noticed that the boys who had negative comments were barely 20 or younger??  The girls and women, however, are of all ages.  I own several superstores in the U.S. and statistics show that 75% of all shopping(even for men) is done by women.  I also see this for my own self.  So, as we are in the majority, other women think, like we do that it is a problem and something different.  So, they either have a negative comment or they feel sorry for us and say something, however well meaning, about loving our bodies or someone who really loves us will accept our differences.  In short, as a cumulative group, the majority of women don't so they do think it is bad or sad.  Now it's time to get real.  As it is true that someone who loves us should accept us for our differences, this isn't something that is a thing to "accept."  I found, in my life, that he's, MOST men LOVE LOVE IT!!  I know that the scars of the young boys saying things are hard to let go.  But you know that in those junior high and high school years, they are not as experienced as they say and all insecure teens as a whole will find something to make someone feel this way about.  It just so happens that we already hate this part of us.  Girls/woman know it's different, thus bad.  Advertising is full of flat women because that is what WOMEN want to see and that is what THEY THINK men want to see.  This is such a terrible thing for us to take as we are already uncomfortable.  I was with two men for long beautiful relationships.  i was with a few other men and that is it sexually.  HOWEVER, these two men were so VERY attractive and I will just put this out there. They both had very large man parts, sexy tight abs, and LOVED LOVED MY FUPA(fat upper p$&sy area)!!!!!  I asked them about it, and throughout my first relationship) I would tell him that I wanted to shave it off and he would plead for me not to have any surger, that it was rare and exotic and sexy as hell.  I was reluctant to believe it.  He even said that it was like a "landing pad."  That the way my bone protruded, is where his body went in and it felt so SO good!  My secon long relationship, I was a little reluctant, still knowing I had not been with many men.  I shared this with him within the first year together.  He said that he completely agreed.  He knew that we had the mo sy to easily change this.  Well, after reading this, maybe not so easy.  However we were sure of it at the time.  He said no No also.  He loved it and said that info was correct and that all men really love it.  These men were so sexy on every level and could be with whatever kind of woman they wished.  They both chose me and I chose them.  I stayed best friends with the first and after 12 years, the second tragically was killed in a accident.  I am only Sharimg something so personal because I know that there may be some girls wondering if this is why the relationships didn't last.  No and the first, I broke up with because of something different, but as I said we remained besties.  I have always had more boy friends than girls, and began to ask them.  They all, each and every one, without missing a beat, said , in their own unique ways, that I am one of the luckiest girls to be blessed with this!!!!  Please know that this is not a feel good post filled with some bs trying to make you feel better.  NO!  It SHOULD make you feel better because, even though I KNOW this is hard to believe, you REALLY DO have a unique and special feature.  Other women will NEVER understand this fully.  So do not go to them with this one thing.  This is not mean about women.  I want women to be strong and confident and support one another.  This is all just the straight up truth.  Just as the men, who know first hand, have posted on this thread, have so truthfully said, they really really do love it.  Also being confident is sexy as you know.  So yes, possibly wear a tight swim skirt and show of the girls.  Every body has something g different that looks better or worse in clothing.  It's not that you are hiding it, but the bathing suits leave you too vulnerable to ignorant(not stupid) women.  Besides that, then PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT BE ASHAMED.  Take a leap of faith and even if you don't believe me(because obviously you don't know me), at least wait until after high school and ask an at least somewhat experienced man close enough to give you their opinion.  I promise, as long as they themselves are confident, they will give you an answer that will blow you away.  And when you have that special man, he will know that he, besides having you to love, will know that he has a bonus treasure with you that not so many women have.  All of this is 100% true ladies.  What you think is a curse, is actually a gift.  Sending you love and the hope that you will recognize your gift and. It let it hold you back from life in ANY WAY!!!!
