pelvic bone protruding?

[oh i dunno]

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.

I got a username for this site and everything just to say this: thank you. I'm sixteen and never really noticed that I was different from other girls until my "good" "friend", haha, told me that i looked like I had a pad on when we were at the pool. For the past year, i've been so self concious, trying to research on line I don't even know how many times. i used to be so confident in bathing suits, now the whole time I feel embarrassed. We also had some spandex in club volleyball that were EXTREMELY ill fitting. Everyone looked like they had a package, but I was probably the most self-conscious. hahaha. I'm so relieved i found this post and that I'm not some awful rare species that they'll feature on discovery channel one day.
To those of you thinking of surgery, click on the Related Discussion: Large Female Pubic Bone. There's a lady on there who said surgery is not worth it at all: painful, slow healing, very expensive, and barely noticable results.
Thank you all, now I feel like i can get on with my life. Hope you all do the same.
PS: one more story so i'm getting it all out to someone. I was at my friends birthday party and we were dancing, doing like a grinding line, train thing, which is gross and stupid but anyways. I was so afraid the guy in front of me would be like "Zach is that you?" That I probably will continue to worry about but hopefully i wont be in that situation too often

I am 13 and I have this problem. It may seem weird that I'm already researching it, but I hate having it. I am on the high school girls swim team and we wear tight suits and it stands out and I think I am the only girl on the swim team that has this problem. People always say be happy with your body everyone is unique but I don't want my bikini area to look like I have a guys junk!

there is nothing like a protruding labia.its very attractive to men and it feels amazing to rock back and forth on it

I too have a protruding pubic bone and have often wondered if it was related to some sort of spinal deformity. I have never worried about intamacy because of it but it does bother me. I have a daughter and yes, she has it too. I worry about her taking gymnastics because it will be so noticeable compared to the other girls.

Finally - a bit of comfort in knowing that others have the same problem as me. I never thought I was any different until when I was 16 and had my first boyfriend. We were lying on our backs in the garden chatting and he suddenly sat up and pointed and said what's that lump ?! Like it was the most disgusting thing in the world. Since then I've been so paranoid about it, like other girls walking around trying to stick my bum out so it curves in abit more. You see loads of people on tv and magazines in underwear and they are completely "flat" and just curve under perfectly. If I stand sideways to the mirror, I have this big fat sticking out lump. It looks like a penis from the side. I'm nearly 30 now and just keep thinking about surgery. I asked my last partner if he thought it sticked out and he had a good look and then a very unconvincing no came out. I knew he thought I looked like a freak
