Amy Schumer is opening up about the difficult realities behind her dramatic 50-pound weight loss, revealing a recent 'botched' colonoscopy and reflecting on life after her divorce.
The 44-year-old comedian shared the candid update during an appearance on Amanda Hirsch's Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, where she discussed how much her life has changed over the past year.
Schumer admitted that despite feeling happier overall, the recent medical procedure has left her struggling with confidence and intimacy.
'I'm not feeling very sexual', she said during the conversation, joking that the failed colonoscopy had affected her outlook.
The Trainwreck actress has been unusually open about her health journey in recent months after fans speculated online about changes to her appearance. Earlier this year, she revealed she had been diagnosed with Cushing syndrome, a hormonal disorder caused by high cortisol levels.
According to Hello Magazine, the condition led to swelling in her face and body, prompting intense online discussion before she eventually sought medical treatment.
The comedian explained that public commentary surrounding her appearance ultimately pushed her to get answers about her health.

The actress also addressed her 50-pound weight loss, clarifying that the transformation was tied to her health struggles rather than cosmetic goals.

According to the actress, the physical changes have helped her regain confidence after years of chronic pain and medical complications.
She also spoke about suffering from endometriosis and ongoing back pain, revealing that she finally feels relief after years of discomfort.
Schumer has consistently taken a transparent approach when discussing her body and appearance, openly addressing cosmetic procedures and the pressures women face in Hollywood.
The comedian previously said she wanted to be honest about her experiences because she knew other women were dealing with similar health issues.
During the podcast appearance, she maintained her trademark humor as she discussed the challenges she has faced over the last year.
Despite the setbacks, she said she currently feels 'happier than ever'.
Life After Divorce
Schumer's health revelations come just months after her split from husband Chris Fischer.
The former couple ended their seven-year marriage in December but have remained focused on co-parenting their son Gene.
Although she did not go into detail about the divorce during the podcast, she acknowledged that life has looked very different since the separation.
The actress has increasingly embraced a more personal and reflective tone on social media, often posting makeup-free photos and candid updates about her life.
In recent months, Schumer has spoken openly about learning to prioritize herself as she navigates major personal changes.
Her latest comments offered another glimpse into the emotional aftermath of both her health struggles and the end of her marriage.
While the comedian admitted the recent colonoscopy experience has temporarily shaken her confidence, she made clear that she feels stronger emotionally than she has in years.
Amy Schumer's honesty about everything from chronic illness to divorce has earned praise from fans who appreciate her willingness to discuss difficult subjects publicly.
And even as she reflects on painful experiences, the actress continues to lean on the humor that made her famous.
