Amy Schumer reveals a ‘botched’ medical procedure

Amy Schumer has revealed that she had a medical procedure that has kept her from wanting to have sex.

‘I actually had, kind of, a botched colonoscopy, so I’m not feeling very sexual,’ the 44-year-old said on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast on Sunday.

The invasive procedure involves a doctor using a long, flexible tube with a camera to examine the inside of your rectum and large intestine, the colon, to detect colorectal cancer, according to the Mayo Clinic.

But despite the mishap, Schumer, who is separated from her husband of nearly eight years, said that her spirits have not dimmed, adding, ‘I feel happier than I’ve ever been before.’

The actress announced in December that she had split from Chris Fischer, a 45-year-old chef with whom she has a seven-year-old son, Gene.

‘Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after seven years,’ the movie star wrote on Instagram.

‘We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son. We would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time.’

Schumer, who featured in Trainwreck, joked that her dramatic weight loss and Fischer being a ‘hot James Beard award-winning chef who can still pull some hot tail’ were not the causes of their breakup.

The Hollywood star ended the post with: ‘Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever.’

The former couple were first linked in November 2017 after they were photographed at a candlelit dinner together in New York City.

Just days after they went Instagram official in February 2018, they got married in an intimate ceremony in Malibu, which was attended by around 80 people, including Jennifer Aniston and Larry David.

Schumer shared a series of photos from their special day on Instagram, simply captioning the carousel: ‘Yup.’

In October that year, Schumer made her pregnancy announcement via journalist Jessica Yellin of News Not Noise.

Sharing a list of the actress’s recommended congressional and gubernatorial candidates, Yellin wrote: ‘I wanted to share some news from our community, maybe it’s noise, but it’s happy noise.’

And the end of the post stated: ‘I’m pregnant – Amy Schumer.’

Gene was born on May 5, 2019. Announcing the news a day later, Schumer joked: ‘Our royal baby was born’ – in reference to Prince Archie, son of Harry and Meghan, who had arrived that day.

Last year, she lost over 30lb thanks to Mounjaro.

‘Three years ago, I tried Wegovy. I was puking, I couldn’t handle it. I don’t know if they’ve changed the formula, whatever,’ she said in a social media video last March.

‘I went on this Telehealth meeting with Midi Health, and it was cheap. I wanted to try it myself ’cause I wanted to recommend it to my friends who are nurses and teachers,’ added Schumer. 

‘They put me on estrogen and progesterone because I realized I was in perimenopause and my symptoms from being perimenopause have disappeared.’

She continued, ‘My hair is fuller, my skin is better, I have more energy, I want to get down more, if you know what I mean. I’m talking about sex. So that’s been great and Mounjaro’s been great.’
