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.

I have it too. As a teen girl this makes my insecurities skyrocket. Afraid to be sexually active because I feel I will be judged or asked "why do you look like that?". It's absolutely terrifying. I hate having to do things like backends in yoga portion of gym class because I know someone is going to notice. I don't have a regular doctor and I'm terrified to tell my mom (we aren't very close). I don't know what to do. I don't want to go out in public or swimming even though I love swimming. I understand exactly how you feel and I'm sorry I can't help very much but I suggest you just be upfront to your doctor. Doctors are there for all those weird questions that you need a professional answer too (at least that's what I've been told). If you do find a way to fix this please contact me via email. I would love to know what I can do if there is anything I can do. My email is ***@****

I’m 14, Our school offers Yoga, Workouts, or regular gym, and I got stuck with yoga, so I’m constantly worrying about it. And you said you like swimming? I am a swimmer, I swim year round, 6 days a week. It’s mortifying...

The act of giving birth is effected by the bones and ligaments in the pelvis, not by the size of the pubis. Having a small/large pubis won't make any difference.  Most women have a pelvis that is wide enough to give birth adequately.  Cephalopelvic Disproportion is when the pelvis is too narrow for a baby to come out of the birth canal without intervention.  You cannot tell whether or not a woman will have this problem by looking at the shape or size of her body.

13 and I have this too. It's really hard to accept because i can't be like the other girls who could freely sway their hips to their front or lie down on their fronts without feeling the pain and have no worry about it. But I do accept it - what am I supposed to do other than take it as a fact? I've always thought this was normal, but it wasn't before I was 12 when I fully realized that this is so not normal for a girl. Though now that I see there are tons of girls out there who carry the same burden, well, then it's normal. Quite. Hahaha. I do have one question though: Is childbirth painful with a protruding pubic bone, or is it easier to deliver?

I have it too and I hate it when I have to lie on my back in front of people (like in the gym or on the beach). I'm always aware of it, I can't wear leggings or tight pants and it's apart of me having low self esteem.

I am in my 50's  I spent most of my life not thinking this was a thinig.  Until one day a woman I knew made a random comment that I knew was meant to attack my insecurities that men don't like large pubic bones.  I still didn't think much of it because I had never had a man say anything one way or another.  Never came up.  It has only been recently with the onslaught of pics and porn that I noticed that the women portrayed don't have this.  That is what brought me to this post.  I am so glad to hear from the male readers that they enjoy this in their women.  In my experience, the men in my life have always quite enjoyed spending a lot of time down "there".

I have the same issue. It may not be that we have a large pubic bone but a pelvic tilt. The title can be posterior or anterior. Mine is a posterior tilt which is far less common am than an anterior. There are exercises and stretches that can help but I have also heard a chiropractor can help. good luck all:)
