Women share Ozempic side effect k
Ozempic’s Rise and Side Effects
Originally for Type 2 diabetes, Ozempic has become popular for weight loss by “slowing digestion and extending feelings of fullness.”
While effective, it brings side effects like nausea and constipation—plus new concerns emerging online.
The “Ozempic Vulva” Debate
Patients report changes such as labia sagging, weakened vaginal muscles, and dryness.
Though not officially recognized, Dr. Tahery says these issues “align with stories women are sharing about their bodies after rapid weight loss.”
Why It Happens
Weight loss affects fat everywhere, including the mons pubis and labia, says Dr. Justin Perron: “Significant weight loss affects fat throughout the body.” Ozempic may also reduce muscle mass, weakening pelvic support.
Other Contributing Factors
Dr. Melanie Bone adds that hormonal shifts and dehydration could worsen dryness and discomfort, compounding concerns for women using the drug.
