Amy Schumer Discloses

Comedian Amy Schumer said a botched colonoscopy left her “not feeling very sexual,” leading doctors to stress reporting side effects.
She reported vomiting from Ozempic and Wegovy, praised an experience with Mounjaro, and said estrogen-progesterone therapy ended her symptoms, improving hair, skin and energy.
