The weight-loss jab side-effect no one is talking about: Doctor reveals rise in women experiencing it – and what it means if it happens to you

Özempic was greeted as a medical development that could change the face (and size) of society, saved millions of NHS to treat conditions such as type 2 diabetes, and offers many people a simple way to shift stubborn pounds.

However, as fat Jab users slowly discovered, ‘Özempik face’ (covering the sunken eyes and curves in the corner of the mouth), skinny, veined ‘Özempic hands’ were detected to many celebrities. And now there is another symptom that needs to be considered: Özempic vagina.

Dr. Galyna SeleznevaA prize -winning aesthetic doctor in London’s Knightsbridge says that half of his customers are now on weight loss jabs and in the last three years he has seen a dramatic increase in those who use them with a strange feeling below.

This rapid increase in symptoms that cause Dr. Selezneva to identify a phenomenon known as ‘algochadic vagina’ that may affect the pelvic floor and labia.

The pelvic floor muscles sit at the base of the pelvis, holding the bladder, uterus, vagina and intestine in the right place. As many women are aware of, it is important to keep this muscle cluster active, as they are necessary for good bladder and intestinal function.

Strong pelvic floor muscles also increase the stability of the core and improve your sexual life. However, Dr Selezneva believes that this power can eliminate this power as a result of injection of weight loss drugs.

One of the reasons for this may be the connection between the fat -throwing jabs and a decrease in the muscle. Research believes that rapid weight loss obtained from taking GLP-1 drugs such as Özempic and Wegovy can cause a decrease in muscle mass and that Dr Selezneva may affect the muscle group that forms the pelvic floor.

‘Drug -oriented rapid weight loss, as well as fat as well as the muscles can remove the muscles,’ he explains.

Constipation and other digestive problems are the side effects of Özempic, which can affect the pelvic floor, Dr says Dr Selezneva.

‘Diarrhea and frequent intestinal movement can force these muscles, especially if you can’t access a bath immediately and you need to keep it longer than desired’ he says.

‘Conversely, constipation can lead to excessive stress during bowel movements, which can lead to tension in the pelvic floor muscles, which can worsen constipation and contribute to problems such as pelvic organ prolapse or urine incontinence.’

Of course, a small number of women starting weight loss injections will foresee that it leads to incontinence, especially because it is a well -known factor in urine incontinence. However, Dr Selezneva says, ‘Fast or sudden excessive weight loss can cause unwanted slippage in the position of the pelvic floor muscles, so it can cause temporary incontinence,’ he says.

Dr Selezneva saw that pelvic floor problems adversely affect women’s sexual lives. Women suffering from the ozempik vagina feel very insecure below, ‘he explains.

‘The feeling of looseness will certainly affect their sexual life because they trust less of themselves.’ This does not help the claim that Dr Selezneva’s rapid weight loss may cause ‘visible sagging of the labia or vagina due to total fat and volume loss.

In addition to pelvic floor problems, some women come to see it with ‘loose labia skin’ after changing their weight. “It is also common that rapid weight loss makes Labia feel disproportionately felt before, or he adds.

Jo 31*from London began to use weight loss a few years before he struggled to reach a healthy BMI. After making injections, he was happy to lose four and a half stones, ‘everything, including vaginam, felt irrelevant. I felt like a vagina after pregnancy. Although I have gained physical confidence thanks to my weight loss, I have lost my mentally confidence in an ironic way, and I knew that things did not feel right. ‘

According to Dr Selezneva, the benefits of weight loss jabs can predominate from the traps; However, awareness is the key.

But should women who have weight loss injections – or women who are considering starting them should be worried about Özempic vagina? Dr. Shazia MalikA counselor’s birth specialist and gynecologist say that the probability of experiencing any of these symptoms will depend on a number of factors, including how much weight you lose (how excessive weight loss is, the more you are likely to feel the rest of your body).

“After menopause, the tissues around Vulva and the vagina are less thick and supported,” he explains.

‘Using weighing loss injections, if you are fairy-menopausal or post-menopausal’, but in young women, it may exacerbate that ‘because they have a much better source of estrogen’.

Dr. Malik also marks the algum -proof effect and other fat jabs may have an effect on your intestinal microbiome, which is closely connected to the vaginal microbiota.

‘Weight loss injections can definitely affect your bowel health, because they can give you diarrhea, nausea and slow down the intestinal passage of foods’.

‘Your intestines will have an effect on the normal microbiome, which can affect the microbiome of your vagina.’

The relationship between the intestinal microbiome and vaginal microbioma means ‘if you have a mixture of unhealthy intestinal bacteria, it means that it can make you prone to vaginal infections, discharge or vaginal drought’.

However, it plays a major role – what you eat does not only have weight loss injections that can disrupt the microbiome – and in the same way, it can be a very simple way to blame the Özempic how many factors feed on how the vagina and your vulvan feel. “Boiling into a single factor will not help women, or he says. ‘We should look at them as a whole.’

Dr Selezneva proposes to be aware of the traps instead of panic about the potential effects of weight loss jabs on your vagina.

For example, you can help to protect and build muscles by making sure that you eat enough protein (‘if you cannot force you to eat yourself’, Dr Selezneva says Dr Selezneva) and targeted exercises towards the pelvic floor (Squey application is bright to guide you and remind you of their exercises). “If you protect and develop these muscles, thank you for this for your future self,” he finishes.
