LARGE MONS PUBIS

HELP. i've a large pubic bone and fat mons pubis. if i wear bicycle pants or something a bit tight it doesnt look like a regular mound.it looks like i have b*lls. i think its because my pubic bone is high. and my mons is really plump and fat, not like a usual mound. others often make fun of me, they say i’m actually a man, that i’m not normal, that i’m disgusting, etc. and when i walk in a bikini or swimsuit in the beach or the swimming pool, i can feel people staring DOWN,once, there was even a group of girls and some boys actually giggling about it. its really uncomfortable. it looks really round, fat and it protrudes outwards. and i’m not overweight AT ALL, but that section is damn fat.i’m 18 and im not sexually active, im embarassed. what do you think should be done? surgery’s my last option..

Im 20 yo and have this exact problem. I didnt use to think much about it since i wasnt fat, but once i started going out with my bf i became really self concious of it, and once he deployed and asked me to "support him" i was mortified to take pictures in really tiny underwear or in nothing at all!  I kept comparing myself to all those über skinny girls on tv. But once i found the courage to take one picture he REALLY liked it.
As i kept workin out and reading all this stuff about getting in shape (i didnt want to have ANOTHER thing to be self concious about!!) i realized that i WAS fat. You couldnt see it, but the fat was there. So i started REALLY working out (so that when i pinched the fat on my stomach it was about only 1/2 an inch thick) and it did wonderful things for my pubic area!! Now im not saying im as glat as a ruler down there, but its definitely not as fat ad before. The pubic bone still sticks out a bit and when i pinch my fat down there its only about one inch thick. Still thick i know, but i can now wear smaller and tighter underwear and not look like i have some invisible balls that are only visivle when i wear underwear. Exercise and a good diet are wonderful for your southern self confidence!! I hope this helps as it helped me!! (hint i do about two hrs of cardio plus leg work out to still try and lose more pubic fat) good luck!!!

I didn't get a chance to read through each comment on here but if anyone hasn't mentioned it already -- the problem may be correlated to a hormonal imbalance, specifically estrogen. Estrogen is a hormone that -- if secreted in normal amounts -- maintains the female reproductive structures and secondary sex characteristics. Secondary sex characteristics include distribution of adipose (fat) tissue in the breasts, abdomen, hips, and you guessed it, the mons pubis.

I am not only sharing this to educate everyone but because I too have been struggling with the same problem. Didn't go to the doctor for this reason but because I had an irregular menstrual cycle. Learned more about hormonal imbalances and what not.. Anyways, my point is: if the problem isn't a structural issue (your pelvic bone naturally protrudes .. as some people on here have said) then there probably is hope for you. Don't be shy, go talk to your doctor, tell him or her what you're going through, your symptoms, etc.. they may just be able to help you.

I'm 28, & I have always thought I was the only person with this problem. I know GOD makes everyone unique but I must admit there were times I loathed taking my clothes off in front of my partner because of this. I used to cry, and wish I could be like the other girls growing up. I don't believe I could ever do the surgery, I thought/hoped maybe there were exercises that would help reduce it somewhat, but I guess I will have to learn to love what I've been given. Just want to say thanks to all of you who have shared on here, seriously, it has helped to know that I'm not the only one. :')
