Psychogenic pelvic pain or occult prolapse syndrome?

Occult prolapse, a syndrome of pelvic pain, sacral ache, dyspareunia, irritable bladder, but not severe dysmenorrhoea, has been studied in 180 young parous women. Organic disease was not present, but the uterus was very mobile and descended easily down the vagina. The pain was worse in the upright posture and was relieved by lying down, supporting, elevating or removing the uterus in 87% of cases.
