Large female pubic bone.
This was a comment I found and I HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME THING! I need to know how I can correct this! You have no idea the suffering we go through on a day to day basis looking like you have a male part instead of a female anatomy. I don't feel like a complete woman. I cannot wear sexy underwear and don't get me started on what wearing a swimsuit feels like or anything that's tight, so I'm always wearing things that are baggy and I'm soooooooooooooo tired of it. My Gynecologist says it normal, WHAT????????????!!!!!!!!! It's not normal for a female to have a LARGE bone sticking out! Believe me, you would not want to be me....
There has to be a surgical proceedure to reduce the bone there, so we can feel like women again.
See below...
when i started discovering my body as a young girl, i realized something different from everyone elses. my vagina looks really bony. when i lay down flat, my pelvic bone is protruding out. even standing up, i can see a big bump. more than normal from what i have seen. i have been told by friends "oh you have big vagina" and it really bothers me. i am embarrassed to be intimate. i did research but didnt come across anything. i'm 25 now and am still embarrassed to go to a doctor. i dont know what the problem really is. i used to crack my lower back, i dont know if that would do anything to it? but i dont feel any pain or anything. just physically, its very different, bony, and embarrassing from what i see. i've been told by several family members " are you wearing a pad" because its that noticeable. i know that if it was from birth, my mom would notice. because now they tell me things like you have fat, big, vagina. i really need to do something about it, but need to know what? and need to know what the problem really is and what may have caused it? and what kind of doctor i should see. and how i should explain it. please answer my questions asap. i cant take it anymore, and i find it embarrassing to share it w/ anyone else.

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.
"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.

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.

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

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!

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.
