Ozempic, originally created for Type 2 diabetes, has gained massive popularity for weight loss by “slowing digestion and increasing feelings of fullness.” Many see quick results, but the drug also brings side effects like nausea, constipation, and other digestive problems.
A new concern trending online is called “Ozempic vulva.” Women report “sagging labia, weakened vaginal muscles, and dryness” after rapid weight loss on the drug. While not an official diagnosis, health experts note these changes resemble effects seen with sudden fat and muscle loss.
Specialists believe the issue may be linked to how quickly the body loses fat, which can alter pelvic tissue support. “Hormonal fluctuations and dehydration” may also play a role, reducing elasticity and moisture.
Some women turn to cosmetic fixes like dermal fillers to restore volume and comfort, though these procedures are elective and expensive.
Doctors stress that not everyone experiences these effects, and many benefit from Ozempic without major issues. Still, experts call for more research to better understand its long-term impact beyond diabetes and weight loss.
