Large female pubic bone.

[Anne1971]

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.

[mayflowers]

I have heard of this problem and I believe there is plastic surgery for it.  You might want to post on the doctors forum.  It will cost you but they might know more about this issue than  the regular uneducated person.  Don't stop searching for an answer or solution.  I'm sure there is one!!!!

[monkeyflower]

It is indeed perfectly normal. Mine's like this too :-) Pelvises come in all shapes and sizes. You just have a prominent pubic bone, is all. But if you're overweight, you can also develop a pretty big pad of fat that will make it look more prominent.

I don't know what's up with your family or friends, though. I can't imagine anyone saying you have a "big fat vagina" (apparently they don't have any understanding of female anatomy), or asking whether you're wearing a pad. Seems weird. Or are you maybe projecting your own feelings about your body?

[irreversible]

I have the same problem, and I agree, it's awful and embarrassing.I haven't talked with anyone about this, I guess, no one knows, since I try to hide it..
But I can't any longer. I'm sick of boys dumping me because I can't take the courage and have a sexual relationship... I'm sick of choosing carefully clothing, I'm sick of being unable to wear what normal women do! I'm sick of looking myself at the mirror - I'm really thin, but this enormous thing is all I see.

I do not want to sound pessimistic, but what can be done? As far as I have read, this bone helps for keeping one's balance. So it cannot be removed. Seriously, is there something that can be done?!

[mayflowers]

Is it an actual bone or is it tissue?  If it's tissue, I would like to think that it could be easily removed.  The bone would be harder to remove, they would have to break it and then do some plastic surgery, but there must be some plastic surgery doctor that will do this for women.  I've seen them reconstruct faces on tv by breaking bones, removing them, placing them elsewhere, etc.

Why don't you try calling or contacting some plastic surgeons around the US at major surgery centers (Mayo clinic comes to mind) and see if they can do the surgery?  Maybe even contact the medical channel on tv, they are always performing uncommon surgeries or even common surgeries but in a new way.  

Don't lose hope either of you!!  If you want this bad enough, you will find a way to get it done!!!!

[irreversible]

Because I am not from the US... I am from a small Eastern European country with awful medical service... I simply cannot imagine getting this done here. And one more reason, I guess it will cost pretty much; not only the operation, but also the tickets and all the documents and hotels and etc.
I guess I just have to put money aside and postpone this.
And yes, it is a bone, I am sure about this. By the way, I don't know if this is connected, but I also noticed that the bones around my knee (the cap, I suppose?!) are jutting out, too; also my ribs. But I don't care at all about them, all I want is, as Anne has written above, is to feel like a woman

[mayflowers]

I would say that there is a connection between this bone and bones on the rest of your body, still I do believe that there must be some operation to help you in this area.  I have heard that a lot of people are going to India for surgery because they are cheaper but also because the do a great job!  Even in the US, and even with insurance, people are going to India.  I am not sure if this is a better option for you or not, but something to keep in mind.  I truly hope it all works out for both you and Anne.  I'll be praying for you both...

[monkeyflower]

After re-reading your post, I'm a little worried about an eating disorder. The fact that you're really thin and all your bones stick out might just be because you ARE really thin... everyone's hips and pubic bone and ribs and knees are gonna seem huge when there's no fat to even things out. And you have the mindset common to eating disorders. Just a thought. I'm really concerned about you. I hope that you can get the help you need.

[monkeyflower]

"I'm sick of boys dumping me because I can't take the courage and have a sexual relationship... I'm sick of choosing carefully clothing, I'm sick of being unable to wear what normal women do! I'm sick of looking myself at the mirror - I'm really thin, but this enormous thing is all I see."

But don't you see, it's not your "enormous" pubic bone that's driving people away--it's your feelings about it. You're not even giving anyone a chance, because you're too insecure about your body to let anyone else even get near you. You've already judged yourself so harshly, you can't see how anyone else might see you differently.

But the truth is, no one is perfect, and no one has a perfect body. I bet a million dollars that even if you miraculously found some quack to do this "surgery" (which would be an unbelievably bad idea--no real doctor is going to agree to break your pelvis), you'd immediately find something else that's 'wrong'.

That's because the problem isn't in your body, it's in your head. It's how you see yourself that's all messed up. You don't have to sit around feeling bad about yourself, pushing people away, making yourself miserable. Make an appointment with a therapist. When you feel this bad about yourself, it's probably going to feel scary and really hard to open up to someone else. But honestly, give it a chance. Just talking about it will help. You are perfect and lovable just as you are. Therapy can help you see that for yourself.

[Anne1971]

I'm so glad to know there are other girls out there with this same problem.
Listen, I am thin too; 5' 7" and my weight is 136. I do not have an eating disorder like someone else suggested.
Until you walk a mile in our shoes, you just don't know how it feels to have a large pubic bone. Finding pants, shorts, skirts, that will hide this is extremely difficult and womens clothing was NOT MADE FOR A LARGE PUBIC BONE!!! This is not the norm for a woman. Like I said, womens clothing, swimsuits, panties, etc are not made to accomodate a woman with a large pubic bone.
When I was growing up, I was made fun of-like kids would say, "you have a buldge" or "what's up with the buldge in your pants" or "you used to be a guy right?". Of course this effects your self esteem. But what do you go to a doctor and say? "Hey doc, I've got this large pubic bone and it's making me insecure-here take a look!" Yeah right....
If there was a surgery to reduce the size, life would be so much easier.

[irreversible]

I too don't have an eating disorder, I'm quite sure about this. My weight is 45 kg (sorry I don't know how to converge this) and I am 157 cm (don't know how to converge this, too).
But I don't think I have this *problem* out of thinness. If it was so, what about all the skinny models then? What about anorexic people? (I really have never heard or seen another girl with a problem like mine. Here I read for the first time about someone with the same complaint!)
I guess it's all about bone structure - as someone had said above, pelvises come in all shapes and sizes. Unfortunately.
I know that I probably take this flaw more serious than an unknown observer would. I know it probably seems more awful in my eyes than it actually is. But it's not simply a familiar little defect - if it was so, if it was common, I wouldn't be so scared! But this is something entirely unconceivable, I guess. It's extraordinary and new and rare, and has never been mentioned... If I was worried about my breasts, for example, well, this is the kind of things therapy can help about. Do you see what I mean?! I am scared enough to have found something so strangely peculiar about my body. And everyone I show it to would be equally scared!
I try to hide this... to choose careful my clothes... I guess no one have noticed it... Just once, in my early teenage years, when I didn't know that this is something wrong yet - I was with a guy, we weren't doing anything, just laying on the ground, too shy to make out  - at a point, he lay over me, perfectly calm and still... and he said "you know, something is hurting me". You just can't imagine how I feel since then. And this is just an example of being physically close to someone. Imagine what would the guy have said if we were making love?!
Sorry about the long post... and about my English, too

[scifi72]

I finally decided to Google my "protruding pelvic bone" and found these posts.  I've had this all my life - it's definately a bone and I'm 5'10, 180lbs so I don't have an eating disorder.  It's very embarrasing...as the others said, I can't wear many items of clothing...including most of the pant styles popular today (flat fronts) which would otherwise be ideal for my body.  Monkeyflower is focusing on our mental health - why is it so hard to believe we might actually have an "abnormal" pubic bone?  Although, and I dont understand this, my gyno says "all" women have that...which is total BS!  Not to sound like a perv, but I've seen tons of naked women and I've NEVER seen anyone with this.  Even going to a waterpark and seeing all different types of women in their bathing suits...even fat women look normal in that area.  I feel like a mutant.  I have a child so I know that everything is in working order, but there are times when it's briefly crossed my mind that I was a hermaphodite or something at birth and was "picked" to be a girl.  But I know that's only because I want to rationalize why I would have this horrible protrusion.  Anyway, you girls haven't posted for a while, I hope you read this because I want to know if you've learned anything else since June???? At the very least, it's nice to know I'm not alone.
Thanks for being there!

[chrply]

  I'am a 58 year old male, i have been with more than my share of woman in my life, I had a 5 year relationship with one woman with a protruding pubic bone, i mean it was as big as my fist folded up. The first time i saw it i was kind of shocked but oddly aroused because it wasn't your every day L@@K  after several weeks into our relationship i grew to really like it as it gave me and her advantages that you wouldn't have otherwise, it also helped her to reach orgasam faster. if you learn how to use it to your advantage. I talked about it to some of my buddies and they all agreed that it is indeed a very exciting atribute. anyway do not consider your selves freaks but consider yourselves one of the very few lucky ones. PS, i don't miss my ex-girlfriend but i sure miss that love making.

[DrDrizzle]

I have the same problem. I have noticed it scince i turned 10. My mom asked me " whats that?" i didnt know what she was atlkign about until i looked down and ever scince i have been embarrsed. I know that most of it is bone but some of it is fat (the mons pubis) covering the pubic bone. I have been searching high and low to try to find a solution. I have found soem sights that may help and ill list them at the end. It is interfering with my social life. I cant were and bikinis or sexy cloths becuase of it. Im still looking for the best options for treatment and prices. I dont think i can ever be intimate until this thing is removed. But the girl is right up there, dont give up trying to find a solution. We all need to stick together and try to help each other out:)

[LexiconDul]

I know self-image is important and all, but speaking as (what I assume is) a normal male, I myself am absolutely incredibly attracted to a prominent "mont de Vénus."  And I definitely agree with chrply as far as making love to a woman with such a think.  I don't want to get all pervy with descriptions and stuff, but wow... I wish none of you ladies would think there's anything wrong with you, or with wearing clothes that do nothing to conceal this attribute.

[Dr.D (not a real docter)]

BREAK THROUGH!!!!
I found something that may be the cuase of this defect, check this out:

What is the reason for protrusion of the pubic bone?  
  
  
Q. I have a prominence of the bone which is below the stomach and above the thighs The bone is outwards (not flat) and is apparent if I wear skirts. Why is it like that and what can be done ? Is this the reason why I get back pain?

A. The bone that you are referring to is called pubic bone and this should normally be flat and not prominent. The important causes of this bone coming forward are any swelling inside the bone, deformity of spine or deformity of hip joint. All these three things have to be checked by examination and if necessary by X-ray. The same deformity can also be present because of vitamin-D deficiency in childhood and evidence of this will also be seen on X-ray. I advise you to consult an orthopaedic surgeon for examination and proper diagnosis of your condition.

you should check this out with your doctor... It might be serius :)

[irreversible]

Hey :) I’m so glad to see the discussion ‘revived’…
And I want to ask something I didn’t have the courage to ask last time: do any of you girls feel pain? Because sometimes I do. And I totally freak out! I don’t know why but I’m pretty sure it comes from ‘there’, you see, like this awful thing is growing even more and more, that’s how I feel it, hurting and even more protruding… At one point I even thought I have a cancer :)
Oh and about growing again. Well… I have the strangest feeling that this bone used to be smaller. Or perhaps I was smaller during puberty, I don’t know

[keight]

im 15 and have the same problem and i noticed about a year ago. I wanted to know if it will get bigger as i get older?

[imagirl]

The first time i realised i had a protruding pubic bone was when i was at the gym with a friend and we were doing the "superman bone" and it hurt my vagina so much, because the bone there was so large and digging into the floor. It sucks buying pants, and i definately cannot wear leggings without a long top. But i still feel like a woman!!my breasts and my hips make me feel like a woman. i would NEVER consider plastic surgery, i think its just how you perceive it. If people bring it up then f**k them, they're not worth it. It still works! theres nothing wrong with it!

I get conscious about sexual contact, but i think whatever..... a p*ssy is a p*ssy, he isnt gunna complain because hes getting some!

Just chill with it. Everyone has their flaws

[qihote]

I've always adored women with prominent pubic mounds - I'm fortunate that both my late first wife and my second wife had/have a lovely bulge when they're lying down. The most sexually exciting girlfriends I have had (apart from the ones I married) also had pretty pubic mounds, and I have spent a lot of money on underwear that accentuates this. It certainly seems to go with enhanced clitoral sensitivity. For me there is nothing sexier than a girl in a bikini on the beach with a cute bulge - preferably with just a hint of clit showing through the fabric. Don't be shy, girls

[nett64]

I just wanted to say that I have been searching the internet for ages and am so glad that i found this site. I thought I was all alone and I too, thought occasionally that maybe I was one of 'those babies' and my parents chose to have a girl! It didn't make any sense though - me being the 3rd girl in the family! lol. If nothing else, it's just nice to know that there is someone out there who has thought the same crazy thought that I had. I once thought that it was because my spine is so straight (resulting in a flat bottom) but have since noticed that other people with that same shape don't have large pubic bones. I am the only one I have ever seen who has such a large bone and I know how alone/rare I am because of gym work in high school where I was the only one (out of 60 girls) who couldn't do certain exercises. I don't want to scare anyone but I am wondering whether, with each baby I had, did it get bigger because it seems to worry me (as in being embarrassed) more now than when I was young. It almost seems ridiculous that at the age of 53, I would still be thinking about plastic surgery at all, but i seem to be getting more obsessed - perhaps as time goes by the disappointment becomes cumulative and not something you get used to.

[glamgirl07]

I'm 15 and i too have this problem - I go to an all girls boarding school and as you can imagine, it is terrible to see all the girls walking round house in their underwear and then not be able to do the same. I used to be bullied about it but then one day i just turned round and said.. "you know.. f*ck you all cause its not worth the energy" and to be honest it is right to say that. I am too scared of getting intimate and especially scared of getting intimate with guys who have been there before. I just wish someone understood and there was an easier answer to this.

[nett64]

At least all the women on this message board understand - and that is something that we've never had before. One thing I have always said to myself is that at least I have legs and arms etc and am not disabled in any way. I know it's disabling in some ways, in that getting intimate for some is a problem, but apart from that (and when you find the right guy it won't matter in the least) it is probably a little problem. I think back to when I was young and I mustn't have been fully aware because I was more worried about a scar I had on my breast. My boyfriend who became my husband didn't care at all about the scar and has never mentioned my pubic bone. It turned out that he wasn't sexually active at the time anyway. He was also a wonderful person and serious about our relationship and I know he would never had commented on anything about our private lives to his mates. So I think, be fussy with whoever you become intimate with and I don't think guys really care about these things. I suppose they have their own worries with penis size etc, which, when you think about it, we don't really care much about. Decent women will not make fun of a man in that way and decent men/boys won't make fun of you either. I have always kept telling myself that it is just like having a big nose or big ears or whatever - just a different shape. It would be easier though, wouldn't it if it was more common? It must be hard for you in a boarding school. When I was young we were all a bit modest with each other, so it wasn't such a big issue. I reckon I'd feel it more if i was 15 now, 'cause like I said, I seem to be getting more obsessed as I get older. It's probably the times. You sound like a strong character, which is good, so all the best.

[girlygirl612]

I have it too! I'm 24 now but , while growing up, I constantly asked myself if something was wrong with me... or if I was not totally "female."  When I finally started to reach puberty I thought, okay I may be a girl.  Then I got my period and I thought, "Woo hoo!  I am a girl".  Now, in my twenties I thought, maybe I will never be able to get pregnant... I did get pregnant, totally unplanned, but I was SOO excited just to know that it was possible.  Anyway, I too will be searching for solutions to this bony problem and will post if I find any.  Keep posting anything you find!

[sunflowercake]

i have it to and i am only 13 i think that when i'm older sex is gonna hurt and i wont be able to have babies. But now you say that you're pregnant i can stop worrying so much!

[helava]

Hi! I have the same thing too! Thought I was the only one in the world - I HATE IT!

I just want to know if anyone has had a baby with our problem? I am concerned about the Labour part of pregnancy and whether there are implications giving birth because of the bone deformity? Has your doctor said anything?

Thanks!

[nett64]

I have had 5 children and no, it doesn't in any way affect labour. I am a bit puzzled by how anyone could worry about sex hurting as 'girlygirl' said and am wondering if we are all talking about exactly the same thing. Anyway, it definitely doesn't hurt.

What I have always wondered is, do we have any other anatomical similarities, such as overly straight spines, which is what I have? I have wondered whether, because my spine doesn't 'kick out' in the lower half, that it's actually forcing the pubic bone forward. There's probably more to it than that, but I'd love to know anyway. I am tall and thin(ish) and when I was young I was pretty bony.

[ThatGiirl]

Hey
Im 15 and I hate wearing skirts or tights oor anything cos when i lie down the bone sticks out major! I hate it. ALl my friends are sexually active.. unbeliveable ( i know) i doo wanna try some stuff but have been too scared of it. I only noticed it a year ago. I do get sore lowerright back pains.. if that helps anyone. I weigh 55Kgs... hoping thats the average weight for a 15 year old im 5ft 8 too.no one else in my family is like this and i wish i had bigger ****. i cant even fit into the smallest bra which is embarassing as some of my friends r C's

[Annie47]

I too have the same problem. I am in my 50's and since I had my last child by C Section this area seems larger which I find totally unattractive.  My hubby says I am worrying about nothing that he finds it sexy.  But I am too embarrassed to wear a swimming costume.  I would dearly love to go to Water Aerobics with my friends but just can't pluck up the courage.  I have been searching for some time to find a solution.  The only thing I have come across is a video on YouTube that shows exercises for the lower abs.  Maybe they will help.  Look at YouTube and in the search bar for videos type... Lower Abs and Fat loss.  Give it a try.....  I will.  I understand how you all feel it makes me feel not so alone but wish there was an easy solution I don't relish the thought of surgery.

[emmabean1]

I am so happy that I found this site. I feel like my protruding bone has finally found some friends, as odd as that sounds. I have, for years, felt like such a weirdo. I hate the way my bone shows through my clothes.  There are so many cute skirts, dresses, pants, shorts, etc. out there that don't fit me right because of the way I'm shaped down there.  I find it so embarassing!  When I walk down the street, I can see men looking between my legs, especially when I'm walking against the wind. Is there surgery for this? We need to find out! I understand that in the grand scheme of things, we should be thankful that this is our only "deformity" and that we are still alive and healthy otherwise.  However, like many others, I do not feel like a woman. Just like others, I thought that I was supposed to be a boy when I was born, but God made a last minute "switch."  I figured this is why I had that giant buldge.  Please keep us posted if anyone here hears of a SAFE fix.  I want a feminine contour down there, and feel it'd really lift my confidence. I tie sweaters around my waist, arch my back, but no matter what, it just can't be hidden.

[Annie47]

I understand entirely. I have searched on the internet without sucess.  I so wish there was an answer. I have a reasonably good figure for my age apart from that 'bulge'.  My hubby doesnt find it offensive and thinks I worry too much but that is easy for him to say.  I feel self conscious and always have done.  It feels worse since I had my last child as I had a C section and of course that leaves a problem with my lower abs I think it is called an apron so I am going to start some lower ab exercises I found on Youtube. Fingers crossed.

[Tashi102]

Oh my god, I thought I was the only one!! I've had this problem for years - I thought it was because I was born with dislocated hips and something went wrong with the treatment after birth! I would love to wear tights to the gym, but just feel like a freak with my huger than life camel toe.  Getting a bikini wax is just embaressing and I feel weird and unattractive and this has a huge effect on my self esteem unfortunately
I've spoken to my physio and chiropractor about this, and apparently my back is actually too curved (too many years of sticking my bum out to look more normal?) - my understanding is that I think it's to do with the shape and tilt of the pelvis and I honeslty don't think surgery woudl change that in any way... I actually feel a bit better knowing it's not just me, we're more normal than we thought! (and have to wear looser clothes below the waist...)

[tinkergal]

I'm glad to find these posts.  I also, like a lot of you, thought I was the only one.  I'm 39, can't wear tight shorts, skirts, pants, and when I wear a bathing suit, it has to have a ruffle around the waist/hip to hide my 'bulge'.  I realize that everyone is structurally different, but I do wish there was something that could be done to reduce it.  I also have a child, who just turned 6, so it didn't prevent me from having a healthy baby.  Actually while I was pregnant it was kind of nice because my big belly hid the large public bone.

[dbible]

I'm an average male.  I had no idea that a woman would be self conscious about this.  My girlfriend all through high school had a prominent pubic bone and I found it exciting and attractive.  She was and is a beautiful girl.  I married her.  I guess I'm just surprised.  I'm sorry it's so upsetting to a girl.  You are NOT a freak!

[aylana]

oh my god, i have it too. :( and i get really depressed about it. thank god i found this site. seriously, i think we all should meet up or something (but that would be impossible since we're from different countries. haha) i'm not sure whether alllll guys are like the guys who've spoken up here, but i definitely hope my boyfriend's one of them. :( i never really talk to him about it but sometimes i feel really really embarassed about it and that he might be abit turned off by it. anyway, i used to think i was supposed to be born as a guy too. haha.

[Tashi102]

Thank you so much for saying that it's not freakish or unattractive.  I still will probably never feel comfortable with it to be honest, but knowing it's probably not the repulsive turn-off that I've always imagined it to be makes me feel a bit better!

[nafif88]

im 20 and i had lipsculpture on my "bulge" abt 5 months ago.

the bulge was half due to the bone being prominent and half because there is just more fat than usual.

im a healthy weight for my height and basically the plastic surgeon said it was very common to do these procedures.

it was very painful and takes a LONG time to heal (im still not fully healed).

i wouldnt call it successful. i still have a bulge even tho it is SLIGHTLY smaller.

please learn from my experience.. it costs alot of money, it is very painful and really is inconvenient to your life and chances are it wont look anything like you dream of.

we arent alone, we know that much, surgery or anything like that is more drama than its worth.

[big10daddy1]

You women out here that think that having a large bone is a curse?? You certainly do not understand the males "AT ALL"  This is one more tool that lures in the men like bees to honey. It is Soooooo sexy. Most men really want to make love to that part orally, and then do it the regular way after they have had the fun of that massive play ground. It is Very sexually stimulating, and most men that have women that have a large bone like that, find themselves very jealous of other men looking at his woman all the time.My wife has to have the largest bone EVER! I would always get jealous of her when she dressed up, or went swimming etc.., because of all the male gawkers. She used it to her advantage  i guess, because she really likes attention, and that really got the people to approach her. Ladies?? If ya got it?? FLAUNT IT!! It is the sexiest part of a women, along with extra large nipples. Be proud of it. Most people would love to stand out in a crowd, and especially when it comes to attracting men.  ENJOY!!

[monagina]

I am 30 by now, and since I was 14 noticed something different down there, I mean the pubic bone. I have also short legs, or maybe the pubic bone is just coming so low, anyway I usually don't feel sexy about all these.  When I wear pants I know everyone is starring at me, but in the last time I really don't care. I saw some improvement in my appearance, when I wear high-heels shoes and, long blouses that are very modern now, I try in any way that I can to pass through this.
It's a little bit easier knowing that it isn't just me in this situation, but let's hope we will be healthy and this is our only problem.
All the best. Mona

[Cheesey]

Im so glad I found this site!!! im only 16 but have noticed this since i was 11... and swimming with friends is impossible! im not fat (i dont think!) but i am tring to lose some weight to see if i can 'flatten' it down a little bit... it is so embarresing (soz cant spell) and i was hoping that i could have an operation in the near future to sort it out... i havent told anybody about this problem because i thought that i was a 'freak' and that it was only me... :(
I have never had a proper boyfriend because im to scared of becoming to close, just in case he tells my friends about it, but i am sssoooo glad that i am not the only one with this problem and just hope that it can be fixed.

After reading your comments, I feel a whole lot better that I am not the only one.(Thanks!!)  I've been searching for any kind of plastic surgery to fix the "area" but sometimes I am NOT too sure if it's even worth it. Then Nafif88 said that she got  Lipsculpture (now I know what it's called) done and explained how painful the surgery was.  (Thanks for sharing your experience).  No matter what guys said on here, I STILL want to get it reshaped.  But I feel like we are pretty much stuck with the way God made us..  

[gracefulLEE]

I too, thought that I was all alone. Its so nice to hear others with the same thoughts and feelings about the large pelvic bone...
I am 23,  5'2, short legs and anywhere from 120-130 pounds on a given month. I realized the more weight I lose, the more my pelvic bone looks like it sticks out and so it is difficult  for me to keep my weight off.
I'm just glad to know that I am not alone. I wear whatever I want, but generally try to cover up my pelvic bone with something. Swimsuits are a no-no, and any fashionable high waisted pants? I dont think so. I used to wear a lot of knee length dresses but then I got chiggers and now I cant even wear that. Sigh...
Okay, im done with my rant. I realize that others have worse problems, but this is a big deal to me.
keep on trucking girls!

[nicknocks]

I have exactly the same problem and only today was shopping for clothes for a special occasion and saw a perfect dress but it was fitted from the waist down so there is NO way I could wear it. I have never spoken to any about it....I presume they must have noticed though....but am going to pluck up the courage to ask the doctor about it when I next go. No-one I know has this problem and am glad that there are others out there with the same issue. I am not sure if it is worse now but have certainly been much more aware the last few years. I will wear a bikini/swimming costume but do not feel comfortable at all so the sarong stays on!!!
Mine is bone but also fat/tissue on top.....and no....I am not overweight or underweight.
If I hear of any miracle cures I will let you all know!!!

[jlkmil]

I am SO GLAD to read all this comments...  I wonder does it runs in family?  Will our girls have it?  
I thought it was part of boy bone that was wrongly put, when I was born with.  whew.

[kayla27]

I am 27 and have been secretly suffering from the same problem since I was a little girl.
It does feel so good to find this forum and all your comments and stories, thank you all for sharing them. I've dealt with it all, the having to wear baggy clothes, the comments,  the sexual insecurity with boys, the thoughts that maybe I was meant to be a boy or a hermaphrodite, feeling like a freak, mutant, abomination etc. I even developed a horrible body misalignment from years and years of trying to tuck that part of my body in. It's been the cause of horrible back pain and headaches and I am currently trying to correct it through yoga though even that is embarrasing because when I DO stand up straight (esp during the class and poses) there's a horrible bulge there and I wonder if people are secretly wondering whether I'm really a girl or if I have a penis or something.  It is NOT a mental thing and it is NOT an eating disorder.  I too am thin, though eat very heartily and healthfully and all the GYN's brush it off as my being too bony. I know that there are worse things to have and I am blessed and grateful for what I have. I'm still going to fantasize that there's a way to fix it somewhere, somehow and that someday i'll have enough money to do so.
For the guys, thanks for speaking up- I now feel the courage to talk to my bf bout it.
For the younger girls, believe me I understand how difficult it is as a young girl. When I was young I would aways look at women's parts down there whenever I could  and  I couldn't wait to watch some pornos so I could see if there was anyone else out there like me. I had heard a statistic that even when you think you're alone on something, 99% of the time there is  someone out there who suffers from the same thing. After a while I concluded that there wasn't and that I was that 1%. It felt so horrrible. Please know that you're not alone.
Thank you again to everybody and let's keep each other informed on any miracle cures! ( so sorry for the rant but this has been cookin' for a looooong time )

[mocha78]

I'm almost happy that its not just me.  Just wanted to add that.  But I'm still in the pursuit of correcting it.  Even if no one else notices, or even cares, I do.  So even if I go through a painful surgery and the outcome isn't exactly what I was hoping it would be, I'm sure it will make me feel better that I did something.  To me, I think it would be worth it.  Good luck to everyone else who is going through the same thing, and good luck in whatever you decide to do!!  I'll check back soon, either when I have news or to see if anyone else has any!  :)

[untitledforher]

Yes..It's rather sad. Mine isn't as prominent but however, it is noticeable if I wear anything tight. You have no idea what I've tried to get rid of it. In the privacy of the bathroom, I've tried to flatten it by force. It didn't work. I've tried extreme exercise. Didn't work. I've tried ignoring and leaving it alone. Didn't work, doesn't work. Possibly when I grow a little older and get some money and I'm legally out of my parents' clutches, I'll go myself and get plastic surgery. My father doesn't care if I get plastic surgery, he says he'll take me to do my eyes when I'm 16 but my mother opposes but admitted she almost got plastic surgery on her face too. I think you could save up and come to the U.S., and be sure to find a good surgeon, and not one that's "discounted".

[xenaz]

I have the same problem and I am almost 46.  I have noticed that it has worsened with 2 children.  Like all of you I try to disguise it by pushing my buttocks back as much as possible but when lying down it is impossible.  Girls, we need help.  Even at my age I would like to have this corrected.  

[Nottheonlyone66]

I have the same problem, as does my mother. Does anyone know if this is genetic - maybe we are all related??? Anyway, it's good to know we all have the same 'thing' and it's awesome to hear that guys actually like it... this forum has slightly changed my negative attitude towards my 'thing' henceforth known as my BIG HAIRY PEACH! Rock on you big bump girls!!! ps Im 42 and a little over weight, was young and very skinny at one time, makes no real difference, the bump is still there, just have to live with it I guess?

[swammy]

i'm 17 and i can't wear cute things because of it. I can't lay flat on my back with out sticking out. it's terrible. and i too have learned to just stick my butt out. urgh. the things us girls have to go through. i really want surgery for my 18th birthday, but i dont know how i'm going to ask my mom? Any answers? I don't want to just be like " yeah UH mom, i have  a fat mon pubis so uhhh, i want to get lipo. sooo ya...." Like how can i ask her, without making a fool out of myself. Oh and i guess we basically refer to this word "f.u.p.a? which is very vulgar and  discomforting when people use it. it means " fat upper ***** area" it's that replusive!!  enough blabbering, i found a really good website!!! take a look.

[helpout121]

I'm 20 years old and I have always been pretty bony. At 5'7" I only weigh 120 lbs even though I have a healthy diet. About the time of puberty I began to notice that my pubic bone protruded a lot! I have never had the courage to talk to anyone about this and I always thought I was a freak. It is a constant worry that there is something genetically wrong with me and my female anatomy. I wear unattractive clothes just so I could hide this problem. I always avoided getting intimate with anyone, laying on my back, or wearing tight clothing. After reading these messages I feel a little bit better that I am not the only one!!
I wish there was some way to fix this problem but I don't think there is. When I work out I stick to track pants and when I have to wear a bathing suit I find one that has a skirt bottom. I have also found that layering short surfing shorts over a bikini bottom hides the problem. I constantly have to search for long shirts or layer my clothing to hide my embarrassment.
I have only been intimate with my boyfriend of 3 years and he does not seem to mind my problem and does not understand my embarrassment. I have small breasts and with a protruding pubic bone I feel like less of a woman. I hate shopping and finding clothes because of this. I really don't know what to do to make myself feel better about this issue. I don't think liposuction would be a solution. There is a little bit of fatty tissue, but even when I stretch the skin taunt my bone still protrudes. My hip bones also protrude a bit, does this happen for anyone else? Does anyone have any other fashion ideas to try to camouflage this or any idea to make it better? I am trying to come to terms with this but it is an extremely upsetting topic for me.
And for all young girls, I feel your pain. If adolescence isn't awkward enough, a pubic bone that sticks out makes everything more difficult. But apparently to a lot of guys it is really not that big of a deal, and it can be hidden with some clothing.
Any help or support would be amazing!

[swammy]

it's an upsetting topic for me as well : (
I thought I was a freak too, up until i found this website. I thought I was a hermaphrodite or something odd like that.  I never had done back bends in  front of people, im sure everyone knows why.I made up this story to tell people if they ever questioned me on it.  I plan on saying " I slammed againist the floor really hard when i was doing the splits when i was five and broke my pubic bone." that's how embarassed I am by it !youre right the layering things does do the trick. like, wearing long tank tops under shirts, buying pants that have three buttons instead of a zipper. [black pants do an amazing job]also to not pull them up all the way. Does anyone else have the problem with wearing belts? Like you can't really wear them because it makes our "problem" as you would say, stand out alot more? because i always have to wear them really loose, and it's not fun. i've learned a good trick about bathing suits as well.  Look for bottoms that are thicker and stretchier, it actually makes it look like there isn't a problem. also, if you don't pull them up all the way, it works! and for the lipo, when you get that done, i guess they can fail down the bone as well? i read it somewhere.

does anyone else have tips on clothing?

[stranger1414]

this is the first i have heard of any one elce having this problum, and it make me have a bit more faith in finding a anwer! It honastly make me dread every day, and the depreshion because of it is really efcting me.
Its hard to hug friends, i feel ugly and diffrent :'(

its hard to find clothes, and im 16 so im missing out on the yers where i look my best :( i wana just be normal. is there any thing that can be done!?

[Yas1991]

Does ANYONE here *actually* know a solution to this problem?

Im 17 and It's really great to know I'm not alone..and we're all sharing our experiences of going thru it..but it still kinda doesn't solve anything.

PROBLEM:  We all have a visible Popping-out mons pubis due to a prominent pubic bone or a big layer of fat tissues or a combination of both.

Still unanswered Questions:

1) Is it a good thing or a bad thing?  ( with the responses of the guys in here r they an exception or is this the majority's view? - think Big boobs...theyre a good thing..majority rules)

2) Does it get bigger as I get older?

3) How can i fix it?

4) and I heard about the lypo solution BUT I would STILL have a problem bec other than the fat tissues my Pubic Bone IS half the problem..as its prominent and looks like a hump when lying straight on my back.. So Is there a surgery for that?


I've been researching this and I heard there is the lypo solution but without having a solution for the pubic bone then its useless because these fat tissues are there to PROTECT the bone during sex.

[mocha78]

Good points!  I would also like to know if it's a good or a bad thing... ie. what do the majority of guys think?  I hate to wear a bathing suit mostly because of that!  What do other people think?  It's not like I see alot of other women with this problem.  But by the sounds of peoples comments, and my feelings aswell, it's not a good thing.  I wondered that too, about the lipo, but the bone still being there.  If you find anything out, PLEASE let us know!!!

[xenaz]

I don't think it is a good thing when most of us feel abnormal and unattractive because of this problem.  I don't care what the guys think. They are only the opinion of the minority.  
We ingeniously find some way of disguising the problem and even enjoy intimacy although it is always tinged by this problem.  I personally think it would take major surgery to fix the problem because of the reproductive organs in that area.  Someone (untitledforher) has raised this question with the Orthopedic Sports Medicine on this website entitled "A deformed pubic bone"...you all might like to have a read of the doctor's answer.  The end result is he said she needed to consult a doctor to have a thorough evaluation.  Can you imagine the embarrassment.  Not only would you have to expose yourself but you most likely would have to have xrays done too.  This is very difficult to do due to the intimacy of this area.  The bottom line is some needs to find the courage to see a doctor and tell us the result of their consultation.  Can anyone have the courage to do this?  We would all like to hear from you if you do.....

[keight27]

So I'm a virgin and I was just wondering if it is the first thing your boyfriend notices when he lays on top of you?
I have avoided ever having a boyfriend because I'm too scared of getting intimate.
I just wanted to know If there is any way to hide it when your that close to someone else?

[mocha78]

I've never had a boyfriend say anything about it.  If he even notices it, which I don't think he will, it definitely won't be the first thing he notices.  I promise!!  I know it *****, I hate it too, but don't let it stop you from having a relationship!  Plus, there's lots of 'positions' where he wouldn't be laying on top of you.  Hope that helps.

[chezzy521]

THANK YOU TO THE MEN FOR YOUR DELIGHTFUL COMMENTS I feel better about myself already (I think the male commenters are really telling us something here GALS).  Nobody likes a scrawny cat, but when you see a big fluffy pussycat you really want to play with it, DONT WORRY GIRLS,  its like a BIG JUICY PEACH i reckon, and YOU CAN STILL HAVE AMAZING ORGASMS, REPRODUCE normally, whatever.  Im sure there are millions of women like us, we have just never been written about in womens mags or appeared in porns ( i havent seen any yet) hmmm ONE DAY WE WILL BE IN FASHION

[healthnut1223]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you at all, except your mind set... please know that I am a man. I'm guessing you think of this as a masculine bulge and it makes you feel anything but feminine. This is not the case at all. Think if it this way... men wish they would have a big chest and so do women, the difference is the shape. The shape of a man and women in the pelvic area are totally different. Personally I find the feminine pubic bone very attractive and I'll tell you why. Virtually all women (except very heavy set women) have a more noticeable public bone when the are laying on their back so this reminds me of that intimate setting. Again your curves are  clearly different, it's like comparing pecks and breast... one is feminine and one is masculine. I've shared shallow talk with other guys and they offer the information that the feminine bulge its a turn on and i never recall anyone saying he didn't like the feminine bulge. It's just like having larger breast, only it's the other feminine curve, so I say you have an asset.

[healthnut1223]

Forgot to say above.

Not all guys like thick girls and not all guys like thin girls. If any guy comments negatively about your curve don't believe that's the trend. Honestly I think most guys think it's a turn on. Like I say, it's kinda like seeing that women laying on you bed in panties, or the hot girl at the beach sunbathing, it's just feminine. I wouldn't care if you could see it in your skirt standing up. It's that intimate image of a woman's curves that is sexy as opposed to a girl with no shape or curves from head to toe, just boring that way. If your guy doesn't like it there is another man that will. Would you get a nose job too if you boyfriend made a negative comment. Don't ever forget... if you are a women even if you have a very pronounced pubic bone your curves are feminine and there are a ton of guys just like me who think that is a bonus to have such femine curves.

[julygirl07]

Well.. I'm 20. And I have the same problem.. Its is uncomfortable.. Yea, U have to watch what u wear and what not. I really wanna get surgry done to. Does it hurt on anyone? Mine doesn't hurt at all?. Sometimes it seems larger somedays than others?.. My periods are always on time. I've never had a problem with that. I've never told anybody besides my mom.. I also have a really big chest? could this have something to do with it?.

[yukiko4711]

I'm absolutely thrilled that I found this place. My mother had noticed my difference when i was about 11 yrs old. She actually told me it was a protruding pelvic bone, but never noticed any other relatives that had the same structure as myself. My mother kind of shrugged it off but I was always self conscious of it. As I got older, I learned to kind of let it go. Yes, I still think about it from time to time, but I've learned to be more accepting of it. With the few men that I've been with now, it has proved to be a great asset. ;) They've always commented on how sexy they think it is and it's helped boost my confidence about it.  And with the comments I've read above, maybe this explains my more 'heightened' sexual urges and sensitivity. Makes me feel more unique and special. (my personal ego booster!)

I'd say keep it ladies. Knowing your body better and harnessing the advantages in what you may think are 'flaws' may help you realize that you've got one up on most 'common' women in this world. And with the increasing amount of male comments on here, I'm starting to wonder if they know more about this than we do! haha.

[Ella1990]

These things kind of make me feel better. but i just cant help but feeling like a guy all the time.
I'm flat chested, lanky, I dont have hips and im just not shaped like a woman :( and my face isnt that great to look at either.
Im so scared of even being close to anyone. Im 18 and am still a virgin because of this. I dont want anyone to see me naked because i dont feel/look like a woman.
I just don't know what to do.

[freakedout4321]

i'm 18, 5ft 11 and weigh 10 and a half stone. i feel so self consicous with this bone thing that i don't dare get close to a guy. i don't like wearing anything but jeans so i have to put loads of stuff in my pockets to try and hide it. i feel ridiculous doing that though, i just want it sorted it out. it makes me so miserable and it makes me hate myself. i plan to go to the doctor and tell her about it but what do i say? please help.

[sweetpea03]

I tend to think that I'm the same way, I don't really like wearing anything tight. Though I would never resort to surgery to "fix" it. I'm just learning to really love my body. I found a guy who loves me for who I am and doesn't see any flaws in my looks. I never thought that was possible, but it's been great so far. Just act confident and you'll learn to be ok with the way you look.

[Haru_chan]

It's such a relief to have found this thread! I'm another girl with a large/prominent pubic bone and it's caused me so much grief. I'm 26 and first noticed this when I was around 12, so I've been covering it up for more than half my life. I have to choose my clothes really carefully. Ruffled/layered skirts are good, and body-control tights can help a little, but shiny and clingy fabrics are a nightmare. If anyone else has any clothing tips to share that'd be great! I avoid lying down flat because it accentuates the bulge, and I've done the arching-the-back-and-sticking-the-butt-out thing too, but it gives me backache if I do it for long! I'm 5 feet 5 and 115 pounds so I'm slim but not underweight at all - I used to think it was just fat causing the problem so I tried to starve myself skinny to get rid of it, but I still had a bump and I've come to realise it's the bone underneath that causes it. I have a friend who's almost exactly the same height and weight as me, but she has no bump down there at all and can wear really tight, clingy skirts with no problems. I have to admit I get jealous!

A couple of years ago (around Jan 07) I finally decided I wanted to do something about it. Back then, I still thought the problem was the fat in the area so I went to a well-known plastic surgery clinic and had a consultation. They didn't examine me at the time, but the nurse I talked to agreed that a labia reduction (I also have long inner labia but that doesn't bother me as much) and some lipo on the mons pubis would be a good option for me. I was booked in to have an examination and consultation with the surgeon a few weeks later, but I paid in full up front (had to get a big bank loan!) as the nurse told me I'd get a discount and special offers if I did this. She warned me that it was non-refundable if I changed my mind, but I was desperate to get rid of my problem and didn't care. I had all these images in my head of me wearing tight mini skirts and swimming costumes...

When I went to see the surgeon, he was really abrupt and didn't put me at my ease at all. He said I'd be a good candidate for the labia reduction, but then he pinched the flesh on my mons and said there wasn't enough there for lipo and he couldn't help. I was really upset and started crying (I just couldn't help it - what a let down!) and he said he "wished I could see some of the other women he's seen" as presumably they had more extreme bumps than mine. That didn't really help though, because if theirs were due to fat then they have the option of losing weight or getting lipo - what can I do?! Anyway, long story short the clinic said I'd have to go through with the labia reduction but they refunded the money for the lipo. I didn't want the labia reduction as that wasn't the main problem (it was just going to be an added bonus for me, so I'd look nice nad neat down there once the bump was gone!) so I went to my GP and explained the whole thing. Because I suffer from depression, he seemed to think this was tied up with that and wrote to the clinic advising that I was unsuitable for surgery at this point in my life and should be refunded. They did so, which was a relief, but I was left feeling worse than ever about my "girl bump" because it felt like no one believed me or cared and that I'd never find a solution.

I've since tried to stop focusing on it and just pick clothes that flatter my shape, but I still can't stop hoping for a solution! They can turn men into women and women into men nowadays - there must be something that can help us! I found out a few months ago that I have mild scoliosis (curvature of the spine) and now I'm wondering whether this is related. Do any other women here get back trouble? I'm going to see a physiotherapist soon, so I'll ask about this and let you all know what happens.

[Haru_chan]

Me again - I've just done a google search and I found a couple of pictures that prove we're not alone, lol!

WARNING: these aren't work safe as they show naked girl parts ;-)

I don't know how to make them into links, so you'll need to copy and paste them into your browser, sorry! It's good to see that there are women out there with the same body shape as us who are proud of their bodies and happy to show them off like this :-)

[Rebeccayo]

I'm happy to see this forum since I thought the percentage of women who have the same large pubic bone as I was a lot lower. It seems a lot more common now after reading all of these posts.

When I was around 19 and 20 (I'm 28 now) I finally realized that I was larger than the average girl and I admit I got paranoid and wondered why that was. I asked my doctor and she simply shrugged it off and said "Don't worry, about 18-20% of women have this. It's not harmful." I have similar problems as everyone else like wearing tight things or lying down but I have to be honest here:

Everyone guy I have been with has NEVER noticed. Not that I am saying that I've been with a lot of guys. :-) I'm pointing out that, in general, men don't really care. None of them have ever complained, said anything or looked disgusted. And trust me, men LOOK. The only thing they don't want to see is a penis. I'm serious.

In fact when I was casually talking to my husband one day about it he  was like "Your what?!" Surprised, I said "You know, how my pubic bone sticks out?" And he looked confused. And yes he has seen naked women before me. He still doesn't "get it." He just says I look beautiful and that I am too critical of myself. Men really aren't that shallow.

Since we are all friends here, I'd also like to mention that I verrryyy often get orgasms through sex. The doctor told me that because of the way I was shaped, I can achieve orgasms much easier. Very true for me!! :-D

Also, I really think it's NOT a deformity. I think it's just the way the pelvis and hip is formed. It's no different than how some men are small down there versus being big down there. And look at all of the different body shapes! Like apple, pear, hour glass, etc. And how does it look like a penis? I've never had anyone comment on mine or stare at me down there and I surf so I either wear a tight wet suit or a swim suit.

One girl mentioned that her hip bones stick out and so do mine but I think it looks sexy! I see girls who don't have large pelvic bones that have a slight hip bone stick out and it looks good. It's not being skinny or anerexic, it's just the way the hip is.

I am gym rat and I wear tight pants/shorts/capris. No one stares at me or makes snide remarks. I'm starting to wonder who some people on this forum hang out with. I get told I look fit and good by men and women so I think a lot of what we think is just built up on paranoia. We don't see many models with it because, well, think about it. If 18-20% of women have this and only, let's say, less than 5% of women in the world are "model" worthy, then the chances are pretty thin. I'm not too worried. Also, actress Kate Bekinsale mentioned her "problem down there" in an interview last year so there you go.

I just want every girl to feel comfortable with themselves. I've grown to like it because it actually benefits my running and reduces knee and hip injuries. Women usually suffer more than men from knee and hip injuries because of the way they are shaped but since my hip/pelvic is different, I've never had those problems and I run 6 days a week for an hour outside. Has anyone else here noticed this? I get way less injured than the average woman. I've always wanted to ask that...

One last thing, I have an identical twin sister who has the same large pelvic bone and her boyfriend's have never said anything to her either. No more worrying! :-)

And if some mean woman says something negative just shoot back with a saracstic "Oh yeah, and you're absolute perfection." I guarantee she's not.

[mocha78]

Thanks for finding those pictures!!  Makes me feel ALOT better about my issue!  I just wish we all didn't have to feel so unusual because of the fact that it's only evident in about 20% of women.  Everyone should check out those pics!!

[mocha78]

P.S.  Now I'm thinking, that if we had it surgically corrected, because it is part bone that sticks out, we would break in half if we had sex, or did anything strenuous.  We'd be fragile and weak in that area.  Ya know??

[mocha78]

Still not saying I like it though...

[Towly]

I'd first like to mention that I am a male. I've only liked women my whole life and had had exactly zero interest in men my entire life. In anatomy class we learned the pubic bone is really the most forward part of the hip bone. The fatty area on top of the pubic bone is called the mons pubis or mons veneris and is the scientific term derived from Latin used to describe the area. Literally translated this term means "mound of Venus". Notice that science hundreds of years ago didn't name it flat or plain Venus but mound of Venus. I'm sure most people know enough about Greek mythology that Venus was a Roman goddess principally associated with love, beauty and fertility. The pubic bone is almost always the most contributing factor to a pronounced mound. Usually the thinner you are the more obvious it is. The Mons Pubis is a unique type of fat that doesn't shrink as fast as the fat on your belly. It's a little like the fat in your cheek. You might have seen an anorexic women that still has cheek fat. By the way, usually the anorexic person often feels they have fatty cheeks when they often do but it's more to do with they bone structure of the face that makes them believe this. The hip bone is something like a bowl with a large hole in the bottom. This is why when you lay down you butt causes your lower pelvis to roll forward and your pubic bone become even more pronounced. This is true with nearly every woman. The front of the hip bone really pubic bone has narrow band connects the right and left side and provides support for walking and internal protection. Perhaps you think this could be shaved or ground down in a surgery however this connected area of the pubic bone must remain in place and can not be removed. The front of the hip or pubic bone is like a rim. The bone is not thick enough from front to back to make any noticeable reduction in size. I suspect if science really wanted to reduce the appearance of the pubic bone it could be possible but it would be terribly evasive and cost prohibitive. Especially with cosmetic surgery it's all about money and there may not be enough client's to support this type of procedure. Having some knowledge in health care I can't see how it wouldn't cost tens of thousands dollars and maybe into 6 figures to move the pubic bone back into the pelvis. Having a larger mound of Venus is perfectly normal. It's like having large eyes or small eyes size has nothing to do with any health concerns. Feeling like you have male parts when you are a women however is a real concern. The problem lies not below your waist but above your shoulders. You have a false perception. I like the comment above it's like comparing the male pectoral muscle with a woman's breast which take a totally different shape. I've never seen a single woman look anything like a man in that area but I bet you don't see it that way on yourself. Now you'll say "mine is bigger than other girls" but you don't understand that it still feminine and really just adds character. Virtually all women have it when laying down especially if they purposely rotate their lower hip forward. Some men will like only small breasted woen, some men will like only large breasted women and some men like all breast. If you had really large boobs why would you tape them down only to look smaller... I think i would be afraid to be intimate if I tried to hide something like that. Know that you are feminine and perfectly normal. Believe it and be comfortable with yourself and market yourself for what you are. Even if you believe this is a flaw think of the man you adored most. The aura of him would compensate for any one physical flaw. I'm sure you seen a hansom man too that was just a strange weirdo which made him unattractive. What you have inside is really more important. Don't be afraid of your feminine mound, it's just you. Just be comfortable with yourself and guys who really enjoy a larger mound of Venus may take notice of you. I can see how some men might make a cold remark. I would think of  people making these remarks might be more the homophobic type when they might actually be attracted to the feminine mound. Don't let what a few people say destroy your confidence. In Japan it is often considered a bonus to have a girlfriend with a large mound. My Asian friend from Japan bragged that his wife's mound was bigger than his masculine bulge. Just because you catch a guy looking doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't like it, he might actually be fascinated by it. Did you know that when a woman becomes aroused her mons pubis actually increases in size. There are a lot of subtle reasons why so many men appreciate a larger mound of Venus and I think there are many more than you are ready to consider. Personally I've always preferred a larger mound over a smaller one. The only girl friend that I had that was truly capable of a vagina orgasm had a very pronounced mound. I believe I was better able to stimulate her "G" spot because of her physical shape having a protruding pubic bone. I've talked to other people that have said the same thing. They also said the mound of Venus was a highly regarded sexual quality. Remember you have nothing to be embarrassed about and you just have more intimate essence about you. Regardless of what you are, just learn to be yourself. When you can take comfort in yourself... others will take comfort in you too. I promise this is always true.

Maybe this is something that doctors could do?

Just stretch out the skin.. with no need for libo?

[mustanggrl]

I'm 47, have the bump, my daughter has it, my mom and sister do not.  I think it's probably genetic like the color of your eyes :-)  Have had my share of sexual partners, none of whom ever, EVER, made any comment about my parts that was less then flattering.  I'm fit, athletic, happy and fairly hot blooded.   Yes its does stick out and I find myself looking at other women to compare my self but maybe after reading the male's responses to this post, I should be the lucky one, haha!  I looked at the pictures and found them somewhat erotic, funnily enough!  I do pick dark colors for my bathing suit bottoms and I think that helps.  But bottom line is, be happy with what you have in life, don't let it affect your feelings about yourself or your self worth.  No one can put you down unless you let them!  Shrug it off, if someone is just mean spirited, then they do not deserve to be your friend anyways!! Love life, love yourself. Treat yourself with respect!   There are so many worse things in life then having a bump.  Men love women and love them more if they love themselves first!  Sexy can come from inside as well as outside.  Love your bump and it will love you!  OK, I'll shut up now...

[KarenUK135]

Hello everyone,

Well I thought I'd sign up and share the information.  I typed in mons pubis surgery and hundreds came up for the UK and for America so have emailed a number of clinics for further details. I have taken into consideration that liposuction is painful and that perhaps it might not make a difference but I am willing to try...I'm tired of looking for ruffled bikini's and loose dresses.  Its exileration to hear that I am not the only one and thought some of you would like to know that people are actually having fat injected into that area to make it more plump!  If only they knew. I'm not sure if the problem is a protruding bone or fatty deposits but either way I have made the first step to finding out and hopefully getting it changed.  Was especially delighted by the photos shared and have since found more when emailing clinics, it is good to know that perhaps my 'problem' isn't as obvious as others.  I would note to the previous commentators that I am in my 20's and it hasn't got worse (or grown!). Thank you to the first person who brought this issue to the surface and fingers crossed, will inform all of you of any developements.

[Haru_chan]

I'm glad the pics helped - they made me feel a lot better so that's why I posted them!  :)I've been re-reading this thread and counted 44 different girls and women who've posted here who have a prominent pubic bone - and that's probably 44 people who thought they were alone with this until they came here! I know I did. There are women here from there early teens to their 50's, ones who've had kids and ones who haven't, slim ones and curvy ones... obviously this affects a lot of different people and isn't at all as rare as I'd been thinking! It still bugs me on a daily basis, but I feel massively better now that I know I'm definitely not the only one ;-)

[Haru_chan]

...and I've just found about another 20 women (I only counted ones who haven't also posted in this thread) with this issue in two other threads on this site:

http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Womens-Health/LARGE-MONS-PUBIS/show/524264

http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Womens-Health/LARGE-MONS-PUBIS/show/524264

So there are over 60 women with this body shape on this one website alone - maybe the world is full of embarrassed women covering up their "girl bumps"?! We should have a support group or something, lol :-)

[Haru_chan]

Sorry, the second link didn't work - here it is:

[Haru_chan]

Hmm, I also found this online:

            What is the reason for protrusion of the pubic bone?  
  
Q. I have a prominence of the bone which is below the stomach and above the thighs The bone is outwards (not flat) and is apparent if I wear skirts. Why is it like that and what can be done ? Is this the reason why I get back pain?

A. The bone that you are referring to is called pubic bone and this should normally be flat and not prominent. The important causes of this bone coming forward are any swelling inside the bone, deformity of spine or deformity of hip joint. All these three things have to be checked by examination and if necessary by X-ray. The same deformity can also be present because of vitamin-D deficiency in childhood and evidence of this will also be seen on X-ray. I advise you to consult an orthopaedic surgeon for examination and proper diagnosis of your condition.

Here's the link:

http://doctor.ndtv.com/faq/detailfaq.asp?id=2892

I don't know anything about the site or how valid any information given on it is, but I thought it was interesting and maybe something to look into. I have mild scoliosis (curvature of the spine) which I only found out about last year and I'm wondering whether this is related in any way. Does anyone else here suffer from back pain or problems?

[nz11]

I'm so releived to have found this site!! I'm 18 and have this same problem, and have never, ever discussed it with anyone! I've had it since around the time of puberty and have gone through so many similar thoughts and feelings as all of the other people commenting on this page. It is a major relief to know there are other people out there with the same issue so thank-you to all of you for posting and reassuring me!

It is still something I would like to get fixed though as I am a swimmer and am in togs a lot which means I am constantly avoiding showing my body, which I am otherwise totally comfortable with! It is always on my mind, in whatever I do and whatever I am wearing and to those of you who are trying to be positive and instill the whole "positive outlook" thing, it is great that you can be that way but I am so far beyond overcoming this with my mind. Im sick of feeling uncomfortable with a part of me I cannot change or grow used to because it is so rare and people hardly ever discuss it.

Does anyone have an approximate figure on how much plastic surgery like that would cost? I have been a few sites but they don't give a figure or name for this particular op. (on the sites i have visited) and also does anyone know recovery time for something like that? If I was to go through with it I wouldn't be telling many people!! Thanks so much for all the comments, they have definitely reassured me! (and I also suffer from lower back pains but I dont ever feel as though they are connected, could be that they are but obviously I have never mentioned it to my physio or osteo as part of the issue!)

[Haru_chan]

Hi nz11, yeah I felt the same way when I first found this thread - just "wow, thank goodness I'm not alone with this anymore!"

I know how you feel when you say you're so far beyond overcoming this with your mind and you're sick of feeling uncomfortable with a part of you that can't be changed. It's all very well people saying it's a variation of the normal range of body shapes (which it must be, considering how many women here have the same issue!) but that doesn't make me want to walk around in tight-fitting clothes showing it off and being looked at! :-P I'd just like to throw on a skirt or pair of trousers without having to check how much they show my bump and then spending ages trying to disguise it - it's so frustrating!! And no matter that guys have said on here that it's not the same shape as the bulge a man has in that area and couldn't be mistaken for it, I still feel really uncomfortable having any sort of bulge down there. I don't think people are going to see it and say "well it's not the same shape as a guy's "package" so it must be a prominent pubic bone - they're just gonna see a bulge in the area that a man has one and stare! I've had it happen a couple of times when I wore a mini-skirt that was too clingy :-(

Regarding surgery, I'm not sure what can be done. In my case, I've been to a surgeon and was told he couldn't give me lipo as I didn't have excess fat there, it's just the underlying muscular-skeletal structure. It seems like that's the case for a lot of the women here from what I've read. If you have a lot of excess fat there then it's possible something can be done, but it wouldn't be cheap. Not sure where you live, but in the UK it's likely to be over £3000. If it seems like it's the bone that's the problem and you're suffering from back problems, I'd see your doctor about it and maybe get a scan/x-ray. I have back problems too and I'm looking into this at the moment. I don't know whether an unusually prominent pubic bone is just a natural variation in body shapes (like a big nose or broad shoulders, etc) or a sign of something wrong or out of alignment in that area - but I really want to find out!

Good luck with whatever you decide to do, and keep us posted here if you find anything out :-)

[irreversible]

I just realised this is the way little (baby) girls look like, because their hip bones are somehow tight and probably not yet developed. Yeah, we are like little girls.

[JLO2009]

I am nearly 30, have had probably 10 sexual partners, and not one time has my protruding pelvic bone been mentioned.  So either they really don't notice because they're so busy worrying about actually GETTING busy, or perhaps they like it.  Frankly, I've never had the courage to point it out and ask their thoughts on it, because I was too afraid.  And trust me, it's a noticeable lump.

Somehow, I think it's genetic, because my sister has commented on having it too (not that I stare at her crotch constantly, but it's somewhat noticeable when she's wearing a swimsuit).

To this day, I wouldn't be caught dead in leggings or leather pants, since I am still incredibly self conscious about it, and I'm very cautious about wardrobe choices at work because I work with a bunch of immature pigs that would be the first to joke with their colleagues that I had a "penis."

I just wish most people were more accepting of diverse body types and standards of beauty.  I can't wait for the day when some woman with a nice mound stands up defiant against those airbrushed, stitched-up female genatalia in Hustler and porn flicks and demands that the world acknowledge her large...female...mound.  You think if more men knew how great it was that we would all be sporting leggings right now?  :)  I say we start up a website dedicated to "the mound."  Promote the heck out of it.  Make it so that women are running out to get plastic surgery to look like US.

[kiki990]

Wow!! I don't feel alone anymore. I could definitely see why it would be a little embarrassing because it is rare and most women have flat, small bumps. I also found out when this guy kept staring at it and asked me what I was "doing to myself"  I also avoid wearing tights around ppl cuz no matter where you live ppl always feel compelled to STARE and JOKE )-: Fortunately, I have a totally sweet bf who doesn't care if it was tattooed with bunnies on it. Lol. There is surgery though called pubic reduction so check your gyneacologist and do what I do.......cute wraps on the beach and make ruffles in the crotch at the gym (-:

[s_islove]

i thought i was the only 'weirdo' in the world too before i found this site.. i think i noticed my bump when i was around 10, but i think its gone more noticeable since then (12yrs) or i have a really bad memory and i cant remember..

but it seriously STICKS out. a lot. when i shower n look down u see this bump >< ive had 2 sexual partners and while im absolutely positive they noticed they were too polite to say anything about it. everyone i know are flat :( i hate it makes it hard to dance in case u knock into someone n theyre like 'what the heck' n i have never worn a bikini without boardshorts..

i also wanted to ask anyone, does having a protruding pubic bone also mean that you  have a shallower vagina?? mines only 4cm deep.. n im pretty sure that is more than abnormal.. :'(

[s_islove]

i also experience orgasms quite easily (my friends get jealous cos i seem to find what they consider special to be the ordinary) but i am WAY TOO SELF CONSCIOUS about my mound to get close with new guys. i dont want to know what they will think.. =/ to all the guys who have replied this thread, its nice to know that you dont mind, but the majority of guys out there..

[crashingsunsets]

Im 17 about to be 18.
I first noticed when i was about 10
my mom said to me "honey, your poochy right there" and
poked at my pubic bone.
Im not very thin. Im pretty average.
im 5'4 an i weigh about 170
but i do alot of sports and im honestly all muscle
my stomach is flat.
but when you get down to my vagina, its just like this mound that is poking out of me.
I always think it looks like ive got some junk down there like a man
its embarrassing when i go to the pool.
because im always adjusting my swim suit to where it hides it some
mines not just a bone, its like it has a layer of tissue and fat over it.
and it makes me feel soooo self conscious.
im scaredto get intimate because im afraid if he slips his hand down my pants, hes gonna feel like hes grabbing a man, not a female.
i want to talk to my mom about it. bu tidk how.
ive never seen another girl with this.
i go to he waterpark, and i never see it. not even a fatttt woman.hers still looks flat.
This is overtaking my social life. I want to wear cute sexy panties for my boyfriend. but im afraid to. i want to be able to buy normal clothes without having a bump in my pants

[Annie47]

I have read all your comments and I have the same problems sympathise.  My worries are more on the fatty tissue that covers my protuding bone.  Are there any exercises that would help to reduce this? If anyone has any tips please let me know.  Thanks Annie.  
By the way I have been married for 27 years and my hubby doesn't find it offensive and finds it sexually attractive. But that doesn't help me with the look of the clothes I would love to wear.

[Ava_hottie24]

Hey my name is Ava. Im 22. I noticed this too when I was younger. At camp once, my "friend" made a comment "why does it stick out?" and I have worried about it ever since. It is definately not easy, especialy thinking about being intimate with a guy and choosing clothes to wear. I think we just have to get over it girls. Im trying to accept the fact that
a) its NOT going away
b) MAYBE we can use it to our advantage
and c) WE ARE NOT ALONE!
its very comforting to kno that there are other girls with this problem, I thought it was only me.
If ANY guy ever makes comments, frankly hes not worth knowing. If he loves us he will accept us and our bony body just the way it is.
is that comment bout Kate Beckinsale true? i always wonderd about that, some celebritites MUST have it too.
as for clothing, while wearing jeans cover it with loose fitting tops, wear soft flowy dresses...NEVER body clinging fabric, even pencil skirts hug your hips and not "that" area which helps. i dont hug friends very much either....but I dont think they wud care, they have always been there 4me. and boardies with bikinis underneath. Girls I think we should get over this, just love what uve got and DONT let ******* and mean guys say things. just kick them in the crotch, see how they like it. =)
wish us all luck and love from a guy who deserves us.

[eslspeaker]

Hi, I have a same problem. DON'T THINK of plastic surgery, since you are healthy, and don't want to deal with any other issues comes after doing so. What I believe what's causing the problem from my research is "because your pelvis is not aligned ideally" and "hunch'lower'back".

I suggest you to study anatomy of pelvis and spine, include other bones connected and muscles. You also want to check your posture from front, back and most importantly from sides.

What I think myself, and when I am unconscious, my lower back (spine?) is hunched and lower pelvis seems leaning and protruding forward. I have no hip muscles at all. By the way, I am not a doctor or any professional, so anything I say here, you need to research more by yourself. But I think, there is a muscle, somewhere is in my front half, is shrunk or intense to pull my pelvis forward - eventually my pubis - and it's causing because my back half muscles are stretched and loose and are not strong enough to pull back my lower pelvis aligned normally. So... I believe that the solution is to improve your muscles on your back, or hip or somewhere back side to achieve your muscles balance.

Here is an interesting note that, protruding pubis is related to your jaw. Do you always put your jaw on your hand when your elbow on the desk? I do, and don't know why what the exact relationships, but perhaps it meant this habit develops hunchback include hunch"lower" back.

As a conclusion, I believe that you can fix or reduce protruding pubis by backside muscles exercise, and right posture. You can google some websites shows how to exercise according muscle group. Keyword is "exercise muscle".

I hope this helped some of you reading this... Please be careful of your excessive remedy, since it might cause lower back pain and you really don't want that. Moderation and patient is very important. Apology of my imperfect English.

[Katafeline]

I have the same exact problem. I used to always be a little chubby and thought it was due to that. I used to stare at my bigger friends and noticed that their area down there wasn't big at all. I'm 20 years old now and I constantly notice people starring down there. It's so uncomfortable. There's a female hip hop artist named Nicki Minaj who also has it. So I assume there's celebrities out there with the same problem. I'm 5 feet tall and I weight 110-115 lbs. My protruding bone with the layer of fat over it looks so massive compared to my skinny legs. It sticks out very far and looks huge. I need a way to fix this. I just wanna be able to wear normal clothes. I want to be able to wear regular jeans with a short top and not always have to wear longer things to cover it because most of my clothes aren't long. I think I just have a very large pelvic bone because though I don't have large hips, my pelvic bone sticks out from the sides of my lower stomach and it gives me a nice shape. I just hate the damn bump. What can us girls do? I know this is a constant suffering.

[deelicious]

Hi everyone! I have been suffering from self consciousness because of my bulgy pubic bone since I was about 11.  I also thought that I was the only one so reading these posts has given me some relief. Every time I see girls in bikinis, underwear or anything tight and sexy I just want to die!  I know I have to get over this but it is just so hard to accept the fact that I am not normal.

I have wanted to change it ever since I realizd it was different but I finally plucked up the courage to tell my boyfriend about it.  He said he finds it really sexy and it doesn't turn him off at all!  When he told me this I was completely shocked because since I have thought it was so ugly for so long I couldn't see that maybe there was actually a bright side it and that I was just being a drama queen (which I usually am :).  I too was worried about it affecting my sexual life and labour, etc. I am so relieved that I can have a baby at least even though I will have to reveal this insecure part of me...

Anyways, what some of you have been saying about how if a guy insults you about it, he's not the one for you.  I have proof that there are guys who don't think it's ugly and repulsive like we do. Those are the ones you don't let go of. I would be stupid to let mine go again.  I am soooo lucky and grateful that he gave me a second chance. In my opinion, I didn't deserve it.

[PrivateNShy]

HAHAHA....i have it too =(
A few times I have felt insecure about it as well...
WOW..not sure how bad I have it...but I know darn
well I dont wanna have plastic surgery on it!

I am realived to know that its not just me!

Even my DH and gal pal poked me in it as fun
and my own mother said once, "what is that"

Just gain MORE WEIGHT!!! and it will go away.
I noticed that I am  very slim and when my weight drops it more
apparent..however when i have more weigh its hardly noticeable.

[jjjkkkl]

before i start off sorry that my english isnt good.
actually what You most worry about would be a sex.
so ive asked many guys about protruding pubic bone,..and  it depends on person. some guy like the way (they like the feeling when their pubic bone bump aginst each other), but others dont like it saying it was the most  unpleasant experience ; it was so painful, couldnt concentrate on ,and sometimes their penis came out because of high mound ( what they talking about is when in missionary position)
well..still i wonder who like large pubic bone. because we're still a small number of people and was they actually sex with girl that we mentioned(like above pics)?

[deelicious]

I think you are right about the gaining weight thing but I would never do it. I want to play basketball and keep my hot boyfriend! Haha

Anyways, I would suggest rather than gaining weight, just try to embrace it and use it to your advantage!  Some guys think it's really sexy and like I said, the ones who don't DO NOT matter!  I know I shouldn't be talking since I can't get over mine but I am trying to.  I know it's going to be a struggle for me because it already has been so far and I am fairly young so I haven't known I am different for very long.  I feel like I'm torturing my boyfriend with this because I am always upset and unpleasant to be around.  

I am not going to give up though because once I embrace it and decide to love my body and myself the way I am I'm sure I will be so much happier (so will my boyfriend! Haha)!

[DKf4]

My girlfriend has this "problem" and she was afraid it would turn me off if she told me... well eventually she did end up telling me and it warranted exactly the opposite response; it REALLY turned me on!! Please stop worrying; every comment posted by a male on this sight has been positive!
            I think the reason having a prominent pubic bone turns guys  on is because it accentuates an area that attracts us and we rarely get to see. So logically since the prominent pubic bone (as i said) accentuates that area, in other words making it more obvious and visible it turns us on!!
            p.s. just talking about that area can turn a guy on so please i wouldn't worry to much, if talking about it can turn him on seeing it(no matter how it looks) will most likely turn him on as well haha

[juicypeach]

hi everyone,so we all taught we were the only freaks in the world with this problem,i must be the only one in ireland,lol,any way im 33 and delt with this all my life,i taught i was supposed to be a fella,because of it,plus i then taught i was really a fella cause id look at pornos and get really turned on by the girls,theres looked so flat and cute that i could imagine myself really getting hot with this girl,and was thinking how could my boyfriend like mine,when theres was so perfect,my boyfriend has never mentioned it,i hold back on sex a lot because of it,but my boyfriend gets so into it and says how much he loves my *****  when were  making love and by the way he really wants it all the time i guess he dosent mind its a more cushioned experence for him,i do come every time we make love, seeing all the lads coments makes me feel really happy,i cant wait till my boyfriend comes home,hes gona get a new reformed me,im getting horny now thinking of it,,,thanks lads.. we are not weired just one of a kind, so glad i found this sight by chancy yesterday,    still wouldnt wear a swimsuit or similer lol. its just for me and my man x

[rueben59]

I am almost 50 yr old male and have been married to my wife of 46 for almost 26 yrs. If any of my comments seem over the line to anyone I will apologize now.
I feel very fortunate to have a woman who is built exactly as some of you describe.It is very big,sticks way out. She is also proud of her anatomy and we joke and have had lots of fun with it through the years.We grin at one another when we see a "BUMP" in the road sign! She realized she was built differently at a very young age and covered it up as best she could. Her parents taught her and her siblings never to be ashamed of their bodies.(good for them!)

We have had a extremely good sex life through the years and have remained active through out.We keep her/our secret to ourselves and are glad to here that others are proud of this too. She wears skirted one piece bathing suits etc.You should be proud. Yes you have to dress a little differently if you are shy etc,and I can relate that is all in your perception. Perhaps the teasing by others is jealousy?

I have discussed this issue with other men and they do find it more attractive than the women who are flat shaped.Its like the difference between a large penis or clitoris,most people prefer larger.She also has a above average clitoris and puts it to good use.I really enjoy the "fit" in the missionary position and she will put her hands underneath herself to accentuate the mound and it is the BEST.We do enjoy straight porn and will comment positively if we see this rare exception and find it stimulating. We wish their was a web place like this for adults to enjoy and for those that are so blessed.

To those of you considering surgery and such I hope you change your mind,it is a gift. We have three children,two girls and they have this also and have had good relationships and children with no problems at all. So in my humble opinion I belive it to be hereditary. I have never ask, but I am sure the the way their husbands treat them they feel as I do,that they would`nt have it any other way for all the surgery/money in the world.  Thanks

[Lola19]

I have the same problem, but instead of it being the pelvis bone that protrudes out, it is defiantly more of a fatty tissue for me.  
BUT I do not find it a really bad thing now.  When I was younger I would be more embarrassed by this and would have a hard time dealing with it, but now I am SUPER happy to have what I have and show it off to the world!  (not literally...but you get the point!)

There are so many clothing options out there now a days that can really complement a woman's body that cover the mon pubis and make it not noticeable!  And if you are worried about bathing suits and things like that, go for the darker colors, makes it stand out much less.

And honestly most guys do not care!  Like in my case since it is more of a fatty tissue above the bone then the bone itself (I am not fat in any way, 5'6" 150lbs 19 years old and very active) and I find that most guys like it, and as some friends have said to me.........

"More cushion for the push-en!"

........which always makes me laugh!  But as said by lots of people here, most guys wont care either way what it looks.  And if you are with a guy and feel uncomfortable, tell him because you should feel comfortable at that point to do so. So don't let this bump hold you back !  and if the guy doesn't like it, he simply isn't the one for you!

One way that helped me think of my bump as more sexy was that I read in multiple places how it was called the "mound of Venus" and how Venus is the goddess of Love.  When you think about it, maybe all the girls with the flat pubic areas and the weird ones and we are all goddess!  But just reading that name made me feel good about it!  
I guess lipo is a way to get rid of it, but I feel that trying an operation could make it worse looking.  I rather be proud of my bump then have a huge scar or anything like that.  
Why get ride of something that makes you, YOU?  

[s_islove]

noone has answered my question =(
does having a protruding pubic bone have anything to do with a shallow vagina?
mines only 4cm deep before u hit something.....
ive been googling the depth n 4cm is way off the average.........

I also have a protruding pelvic bone and thought i was the only one untill my first year of college.  I've been aware of how large the bone is since 8th grade when i was trying out for the vollyball tyeam and we had to do spikes across the floor and when i slid, the bone hit the ground so hard and it hurt so much that i had a large bruise for weeks.  since then i've been majorally self-concious about it and i'm constantly looking at other females' and wishing that i had a pelvic bone like theirs.  

i'm so happy I found this site, it has help me so much.  thank you everyone for sharing.  I never thought any guy would find it attractive, that was very surprising.  I also understand the whole statements about how it helps females with having orgasms, i never thought about that factor, although from personal expesience, I would very much agree.

once again, thank you everyone that has shared their story here, it was very comforting.

Are you genetically supposed to have large babies? My moms side pushes out 12-14 lb babies, and we all have large pelvics. I'm so insecure about it too, but I focus on the fact that if I wasn't the way I was then my baby might be to big to fit through.

[deelicious]

I don't think you're supposed to have big babies... My mom has the same thing and I was five pounds. Then again I was premature baby so... Sorry I'm not much help!

I know exactly how you feel.  I'm 17 and have the same problem.  I hate it, it's so embarassing.  It stops me from doing things i would like to like dance, but i'm too embarased to wear the body suits.  I thought i was the only girl like this and felt like a total weirdo.  it makes me feel a little better though knowing i'm not the only one.

I'm an eighteen year old female and I've had an enlarged or "protruding" pubic bone since birth.
When I was younger, I would get teased for being fat, which would lower my self-esteem. I was extremely self-conscious about the lower part of my body and would wear baggy clothes and long shirts to hide the bulge, as most of the women on here have.
In high-school however, I started feeling better about my looks. I lost a major amount of weight (was over 200, now down to 160), and I've gotten compliments about how pretty I am, but there's still one thing I can't live with... my pubic bone.
Everything else about me is fine, but when I get into the bedroom with my boyfriend, I can take my shirt off, but I can't take my pants off. I've tried, I get so anxious that I flake out and run into the bathroom.
I don't like feeling like this, but it's good to hear that I'm not the only one.

[Haru_chan]

Does anyone else here have narrow, boyish hips? I do, and I'm wondering whether this has something to do with it. It's a pity we can't do polls on here - it'd be good to get as much information together as possible!

Oh my god. I have been sitting here crying for half an hour. I've put the rst of my life on hold right now (at uni, heaps of work to do) because I have found OTHERS!!!! Any of these messages could have been me. I too worried that I wasn't all-girl, that I couldn't have babies (I'm 24 and have only just started worrying about that), that I was the only one, that no man would ever find me attactive, and I have spent my life since I was 8 (when it was first pointed out to me by a charming group of boys at a swimming carnival) worrying about people seeing it. I am 152cm (pretty short) and 47kg, which is right in the middle of the healthy weight range for my age and height. I have strong, healthy, but quite fine bones, so I have always been confused about why this one is so big. I have a super curvy back, which I am sure I have caused damage to over the years by poking my bum out in an attempt to jut my pelvis backward. I used to live in hope that as I got older this adjustment to posture would make the protrusion less obvious, but it hasn't, and I just have a pokey-outey bum now too....so youngens...DON'T TRY POKING YOUR BUM OUT TO HIDE IT! It causes more harm than good, and does NOTHING to help. This is the first community of women I have found with the same 'problem'. I am so relieved to hear your stories and to know that there are other women out there suffering and struggling to make sense of it and find a solution. Even just to know there are so many of you is such a relief. I have read everyone's post, and I have cried for you all and myself and just feel so overwhelmed and sorta good. I'm an Aussie girl..so no bronzing at the beach for me. I hide my body (which is otherwise quite attractive if I do say so myself) and I'm so sick of it. I see enourmous women wobbling down the beach in string bikinis and I just feel like stripping and copping the worst of what anyone has to give me all in one go so I can hear the worst of it and move on to acceptance, but it's just like an impossible burning thing inside. I have been in a good relationship for 5 years (this month) and he loves my body, and there's no feeling abnormal or anything in my bedroom. But I don't feel sexy. I feel less feminine than other women, and, though he constantly reassures me it wont happen, I live in constant fear he'll ditch me for a flat-pubed hottie he can show off...someone who wants to be shown off and can be. I just can't feel comfy in my body. I also suffer from hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating) even in the middle of winter, and I have always wondered if there was something fundamentally wrong with me. Yesterday I typed "never should have been born" into google to see if I could find anyone else out there who wonders if there is something terribly wrong with them.I suffer from regular bouts of depression and anxiety. I have a degree in acting for screen and stage, and it has not helped my confidence at all. I just feel like giving up sometimes, but hearing so many other women who seem to have the same desire as me...to just take a bloody axe to their pelvis and chop it off...I feel so much more like I'm normal, and allowed to be here and call myself a woman, and challenge anyone who disagrees.

I don't know any of you, but I love you all. :) Thank you. I too will keep searching. I have also never gone for a pap smear for the potential shame involved. I will now book myself an appointment, and ask for a referral to an orthopedic surgeon to have my back, hips, pubis and vitamin D checked like someone suggested, and I will come back here and tell you all what was said, as it could offer some more clues.

Be strong ladies. We are all together in this. United we stand on all corners of this vastly diverse globe. :)

Huge cuddles and warm fuzzies to you all. May we all get a chance to feel feminine and sexy!

Just realised that I forgot to mention something VERY important.

TO THE WONDERFUL MEN who have taken time to try and help squash the emotional anguish we are all experiencing about this paert of our bodies, THANKYOU SO MUCH! Honestly, it is a relief when you first hear from a man that it is not weird, and that a lot of men find it sexy. My partner is wonderfully supportive, but I think the more male voices saying that this is a desirable attribute, the more normal we all get to feel. You are beautiful and brave, boys. :) I am so glad to see you in here helping women with something so embarrssing and emotional...words which usually cause men to run a mile!

Truly.

I have a protruding pubic bone as well--and one of my two daughters does as well.  I agree with all that's been said about being careful about what we wear.

I, too, find it quite easy to reach orgasm and attribute it to the shape of everything down there.  

I've been with my husband for 11 years now and every now and then--especially if I'm on top facing him--he'll tell me my pubic bone is digging in to him and it hurts.  Has this ever happened to you?  What do you do about it (and what modifications do you do so that you can still be on top?)

Thanks!

[angeldust66]

wow, i am in shock, like all of you i also thought i was the only one, again i cant wear anything tight specially swimming suits because i dnt feel right, i feel damnright horribel, and usexy, most things other girls can wear i cant, because that part looks just way too big, and i dont think its normal, not only that i dont think it looks nice, ive tried to convince myself that its sexy in some way but i just cant. HOWEVER, my current boyfriend and the other men ive been with say its amazingly sexy, and better for sex, and everytime i mention the idea of getting it removed or anything he said NO because he really really likes it. hes been with other girls and he assured me that its the best, the sex is amazing, i have been pregnant, i dont have ny other deformities, that i kwno of thank god, but still.... i want to feel sexy naked, in lengerie, in swimsuits, and THANK U ALL i am soo, soooo, sooooooooo happy im not the only one, (not that im happy because ur not) and i understand and relate to each and every one of these comments, i hope u all feel better in some way about it, because if it comes to sex, guys apparently really like it, maybe if i try harder to convince myself that its a good thing, and try and feel "unique" then itll be better

[Loupers]

Ugh I feel all your pain. I hate this so much! It completly ruins my self esteem. I don't wanna wear bikins or even take a shower with my boyfriend of 2 years. It makes me uncomftorable to even sit down cause I think it's sticking out for the world to see. And don't get me started on leggings. The most unflattering clothing item for this issue. I want it gone. U heard lipo works and maybe shaving down te pubic bone. But it seems like it's more fatty tissue then bone. But hey I'm not a dr. I'm 18. 5'3. 130 lbs. I'm not fat but I'm not skinny like the rest of you. I just want to feel pretty and beautiful in my own skin. To be able to walk around the room in just my thong and not have to worry about my fat mons pubis sticking out. I wish I could have a normal looking vagina. :(

Pilates...I swear - and not the ridiculus hundreds..the tiny therapeutic movements that mobilize and stabilize the pelvis and hips (pelvic tilting, pelvic clock - side lying single leg work - int/ext rotation of the thigh, leg cicles) this will increase awareness of the area and how your negotiate the placement of your pelvis in every other position.

I'm a Pilates trainer and have a slight rise - it bugged me to no end and played with my self esteem in a big way - it still does - and I've noticed ..the area is dynamic.  once I start to balance and neutralize the whole area (leg work, the stuff mention above - magic circle w. relaexed grone for inner thighs) is helpful - I've seen it shrink.  

Lately I've enjoyed too much computer time and have sunken into my lower lumbar region - and guess whats all puffy again - that and yoga  - backbending - pops it out.

Listen though - as much as I've conditioned myself to HATE it....my past boyfriends loved it - or - and I'd shoo them away - were reallly curious....in a good way I now see in hindsite.

Dear god, and don't penises exist in all forms?

Also - I've heard over and over that I have a SMALL vag...go figure? shocked me too - small as in tight (sorry to be soo crude...but in the theme of this conversation).  So...ladies, kegals - balance it out with postural exercises and LOVELOVELOVE your sweet selves - we're only here for a short time.

Thank you for all the feedback.

women who have fatty tissue on there shoulnt compalin on these threads. 100% men like this because its cushioned for men while having sex. uguys are lucky.its rather blessed thing not shamed. i have a very protruding bone and i can feel hardness on the mound. i feel myself hurt on bone  when i lying on stomach. im so scared of having sex because i know it hurt him and make him uncomfortable during sex..
