Ozempic, originally designed for Type 2 diabetes, has become popular as a weight-loss drug by “slowing digestion and helping users feel fuller for longer.” While effective, it often causes nausea, constipation, and other digestive issues.

A new concern gaining attention online is what social media users call “Ozempic vulva.” This refers to changes like sagging labia, weakened vaginal muscles, and dryness. Although not a medical term, it has sparked discussion among doctors and patients.

Experts say these changes may be linked to “rapid weight and muscle loss.” Just as skin can sag after major weight reduction, the pelvic area may also lose structural support. Hormonal shifts and dehydration, another side effect of Ozempic, may also worsen vaginal dryness.

“Not all women using the drug experience these effects.” Some who do are turning to cosmetic options like dermal fillers to restore support.

Doctors caution that more research is needed, as “the drug’s impact on pelvic tissue and vaginal health has not been thoroughly studied.” The conversation around Ozempic vulva shows the importance of weighing not only benefits but also unexpected side effects.
