Amy Schumer is in better health than ever, despite a minor setback. During an appearance in New York with podcast host Amanda Hirsch, Schumer candidly revealed that she had a "botched colonoscopy." "I feel happier than I've ever been," Schumer said before delving deeper into her medical history.
Hirsch, her director friend, asked if her condition had anything to do with being "really hot," to which Schumer replied, "Oh my God. Thank you so much. I actually had a botched colonoscopy, so I'm not feeling very sexual, but that's another thing you're not going to have to worry about for 15 years, OK?" The "Kinda Pregnant" actress assured Hirsch, "You're going to love it, though."
Schumer's representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. The comedian has kept fans updated on her health journey throughout the years and admitted last year that her experience with Mounjaro was vastly different from when she tried an alternative weight-loss medication.
In a previous attempt to lose weight, the comedian experienced debilitating side effects while using Ozempic for weight-loss purposes. "I wanted to share and keep it real with you that years ago – and yes, this is completely unsafe to be driving and making a video – years ago, three years ago, I tried WeGovy, and I was like throwing up," Schumer said in a social media clip while behind the wheel. "I couldn't handle it. I don't know if they've changed the formula or whatever … but anyway, I went on this telehealth meeting with MidiHealth, and it was cheap. I wanted to try it myself because I wanted to recommend it to my friends who are like nurses and teachers."
In addition to the injectable medication, which is primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes, the "Trainwreck" star has a new routine that includes hormones. "They put me on estrogen and progesterone because I realized I was in perimenopause and my symptoms of being in perimenopause have disappeared," Schumer said. "My hair is fuller, my skin is better, I have more energy, and I want to have more sex if you know what I mean – I'm talking about sex." She added, "So that's been great. Mounajro's been great … I'm having a really good experience with it, and I wanted to keep it real with you about that."
