Pelvic bone movement?

Hello, Im new to these boards and I was wondering if someone could help me. Its that my pubic bone, where the pubic hair grows, it is bulging out a bit, and it feels like my pubic bone has moved up and is protruding more than it should. When I wear a swimsuit, it looks a bit like I have a penis, and I feel very self-conscience. Its also quite flabby there as well and Im not sure if its fat or bone. Im sure its not a hernia though. If anyone knows anything about this, I would be grateful for any information. Thank you.

m0928,

Has it really moved? Or do you think it moved?

My pubic bone sticks out, too- a lot. I don't wear pants or skirts that are too fitted because it bulges out. My husband laughs at it, too. But he said he only notices it when I point it out, or if my pants "shrunk" in the closet. When it comes to bathing suits, I throw caution to the wind because eveyone else is just as self concious in their's. Sometimes when I really obsess about it, I try to pull my hips in, but that makes my butt stick out. Then I try to hold both in, but that always proves to be impossible :)

I have regular check-ups with my gyn. She has never said anything about it.

Since you are worried, and if it is different than usual, you should call your doctor. It's better to be on the safe side.
