\u201cI feel happier than I\u2019ve ever been before,\u201d Schumer, 44, said during a \u201cNot Skinny But Not Fat\u201d podcast event with Dear Media. \u201cI actually had, kind of, a botched colonoscopy, so I\u2019m not feeling very sexual.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was getting these steroid injections, and so it gave me this thing called Cushing syndrome; which I wouldn\u2019t have known if the internet hadn\u2019t come for me so hard,\u201d she said on the \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d<\/span><\/a> podcast in 2025. \u201cI learned that I had something called \u2018moon face,\u2019 and I\u2019m starring in a movie [Netflix\u2019s Kinda Pregnant<\/i>] and there\u2019s a camera in my face, and I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh my God.\u2019 I was feeling really down on myself before I started filming this movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Schumer started to feel better thanks to her friends\u2019 support, the swelling began to dissolve on its own. The actress has also been on a weight loss journey, entrusting GLP-1 medications to slim down.<\/p>\n
