pelvic bone protruding?

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. im so glad i found your site, after many years of suffering.

Ladies!!  Please look into posterior pelvic tilt exercises and correction.  I was in the same exact boat as all of you and have been embarrassed by my body for over 20 years.  I'm thin, but always wear tunic style or oversized shirts to cover that area because it just looks gross to me.  I'm not saying the exercises fixed it completely, but it did help about 75% and now I can tuck my shirt in my jeans and wear crop tops!  I still can't wear short shirts with tight leggings though (unless it's black), but I think that's just me being super paranoid and insecure after all those years.  I've watched many many Youtube videos about it and the only one that really worked was this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olCAI7kSAsE  I think it's great because it also helps my posture since I'm constantly thinking about the correct way to sit, stand, lay down, etc. and it just comes naturally now.  Good luck and please give this group some feedback whether it helped you or not.  Love y'all!!

Hey I know this question was years ago but I have the same problem and struggling with it... I just don't feel feminine at all, I can wear cute outfits like leggings with a crop sweater or tuck my shirt in and feel concious being in swimswear. I'm also scared of getting intimate with someone. I just want to feel good with lingerie as well but (along with my 32As) I just feel so unfeminine...

One time when I was a kid, this other boy asked me if I was wearing pampers.. One of my guys friends also pointed out when I was wearing skinny jeans that I looked like I had a bulge there... I only shared it with one friend and she just said its cause my tummy was flat but other girls aren't like this. I think its because of my scoliosis that I have this (I just feel so deforemed, my spine is wonky, one of my boobs are so small and uneven, my face and jaw is always so uneven).

I was wondering if you did anything? Have learnt to accept it or sought professional help?

Anyways, I just so happy there are other women here who are in the same boat.

im 15 now and noticed my protruding pelvic bone for a while. I'm really embarrassed about it because it is sometimes obvious in the clothes I wear. Lots of other girls in my year have started to wear tight skirts and dresses. I'm not saying I want to be like them but I would like to be confident enough in my body to wear tight clothing. When I tried to talk to my mum about it she just laughed at me which certainly didn't make me feel any better. Im quite a shy and self-conscious person so it is hard to just be confident in my body, but I am pleased to know I am not the only one with this problem.

I'm 13 and all my friends can go swimming and wear shorts and tight clothes. I feel so uncomfortable to the point where I don't want to leave the house. It's always been a problem since i was little and friends always make remarks. I thought it was fat and have been doing workouts but that doesn't seem to help at all. I understand this might sound over dramatic but I don't want to leave my whole life with this problem. I don't think it's normal and I want to be normal. I can't speak to anyone about this. I would also appreciate an answer!

                          What God has made, we have to accept it, as it is, as having a high pubic bone is not a deformity, but it is just like- everyone are not same and different in every respect.
                          However, this has caused me great discomfort and gave me unusual feeling while having sex that things went extremely wrong.But I was helpless. I could not adjust.
                         But all of you don't get discouraged on account of that, I had not left her but considered as normal and accepted it.

I found out that I was different when I go on a diet and found out that it is protruding. I checked photos of bikini models and other fashion models and found out that it is indeed flat in that area! Mine: hip bones are showing and so is my protruding pubic bone. It is not fat because when you touch the anterior area of the mons, you could feel the bone. It is really sad because I couldn't wear bikinis or even tight clothing. When I do, I make sure that I have long shirt to cover the area.

i have had sex with quite a few woman, but with this one, that has a protruding pubic bone, she 'feels' so much more during sex, so much more expressive. I was just curious to know if there is a link of any, between the 'protruding pubic bone' and maybe the shape of the vagina/making her feel more eduring sex?

I found this page while I was looking for examples of other women who have a larger than average mons pubis. My girlfriend has a rather larger pubic mound and she is very self conscious about it. I attempted to find other women like this to re-assure her that it's not abnormal. Plus, I find it very attractive, and many of my guy friends agree with me!

I know women sometimes have issues with their bodies, like most people. But ladies, just as I tell my girlfriend now, there are guys out there who find that mound pretty dang attractive.

I'm 16 and I have the same problem, I want to lose weight on my stomach but I'm scared it will show up more:-/
I always compare myself to other girls knowing I shouldn't but I just can't help it. I'm even embarrassed to speak to my mom about it, before me and my friend were joking and we called it a package but ever since then I'm proper cautious when it shows through clothes, if anyone knows anything other than surgery please let me know x

I am so pissed off I can't wear a bikini, I have a good body and can't show it off. To this day my husband cant tell because I hide it with clothes but I will not stand in front of him because of this. He always asks why I do not wear bikini bottoms and he gets upset!! I need to do something and want a answer!!!!

I can honestly say that I feel less freakish knowing that there are other women out there who have the same "look" as me. I'm 17, and I've been stressing over my pelvic bone for quite some time. At first I didn't think too much about it because my mom has the same thing. So, I figured it was something genetic and normal for every other person. But now that I'm getting older I feel even more self conscious and aware that the girls around me don't look the way I do. I wear really dark jeans to try and make everything blend in. I refuse to wear a bikini and resort to swimming shorts. I find myself constantly crossing my legs in class so no one will notice my "deformity". It's gotten to the point where I don't do certain sports because you have to wear spandex! Its gotten crazy. I worry about what's going to happen when I get a boyfriend. Do guys find this revolting? I don't want to hide who I am, yet I can't find it in myself to be proud of it.

Hi, this forum is great. Listen, I also have a protruding pelvic bone, and I'm pretty thin, 5'7 and 120 lbs and my bone really sticks out. I was very self conscious about it but it's actually become a feature I'm comfortable with and the boyfriends don't mind it- in fact they love it. I've ne'er heard a complaint! One explanation of this protrusion may be due to the position of the uterus, and therefore the position of the vagina. Supposedly, a retro-inverted uteruswill tilt the vagina in a direction that is more sensitive in certain sexual positions and it occurs for about 15% of women. Other than hightened sensitivity in certain positions, pregnant women usually end up giving birth via c-section. My mother also had this..that might an answer and there's nothin wrong with it! Do you think that may be a possibility? I'm curious because I think thats the reason for mine but haven spoken to a obgyn about it yet.

my mom died when I was 9(I'm 14 now) so I live with my dad.So I don't have anyone to talk to it about. I started to notice my pubis bone was protruding when I was 13.I am so emberrased, all my friends wear such cute clothes and I can't because I have to hide my hideous mound): I hated it. I had to wear jackets all year to hide it .There is this boy I really like it and I want him to be my first boyfriend, but i'm to emberrased,because i'm afraid he is going to try to hold me tight and notice that I have a large pubic bone. I wish my life was normal.I wish I could be like the girls on the victoria secret commericals because they have flat vaginas,I'm always so depressed,I thought I was the only one I am so happy I found this website. so please help me

I too have a large sticking out pubic bone,  and was traumatized to find  that my fiance and I could not have sex because his penis was a little too short to reach me.   We broke off the engagement.  Needless to say this almost ruined my life.   Has anyone else had this problem?

i really truly believe that (in my case anyway) and ask ur selves this..have you been molested? ) i was molested through out my entire childhood, i remember how it hurt when he put his fingers in me but since it had gone on for years i believe that having a finger in my not fully developed vagina since i was like 3 or 4 years old up till i was 16 changed the way my pubic bone looks.  i really believe that.  my two daughters and my mom and grandmother look normal, i noticed i was different at a very very early age.  it is not "normal"

You guys it is normal to have a protruding pelvic bone! 20% of woman have it.   Check out the link I pasted above, that girl definitely has one because Ive seen people in yoga do moves similar to hers (though not as intense) and their pelvic bone doesnt stick out like hers.  and she rocks it and no one has commented on it!
also, I was super afraid of ever getting naked with a guy because of my protruding pelvis and my current boyfriend doesnt mind at all.  He even said he liked it.  So just remember that if you are with someone who loves you they really wont care!!
