Three groups of women of different socioeconomic extraction, some with and some without chronic pelvic pain, were studied gynecologically and psychiatrically. Regardless of the presence or absence of organic pelvic pathology, pelvic pain patients showed considerable psychopathology clinically and by psychological testing, mainly mixed character disorders with predominant schizoid features. They usually were eager to undergo hysterectomy. Those who received a hysterectomy generally became pain-free, but often they seemingly substituted for it other symptoms (mostly psychological). Pelvic pain patients of different socioeconomic extraction had similar psychological characteristics. A central conclusion is that chronic pelvic pain appears more closely related to the presence of psychiatric disturbance, which is a constant finding, than to the presence of organic pelvic pathology, which is an inconstant finding.

Gynecologic Patients

Twenty-five gynecologic patients with chronic pelvic pain were evaluated in a multi-disciplinary study. Gynecologic evaluation revealed most patients had normal pelvic exams. Psychiatric evaluation showed all of the patients to have significant psychopathology, with Borderline Syndrome, and Hysterical Character Disorder the most frequent diagnoses. A significant incidence of early childhood family dysfunction and incest were found. Psychological testing corroborated the high incidence of severe psychopathology.

AbstractChronic pelvic pain is a condition defined by pelvic pain for more than six months which is severe enough to cause functional disability or require treatment. When pain becomes a chronic condition, it is more challenging to evaluate and treat. Chronic pelvic pain patients often have multiple factors contributing to their pain. Here, we review the approach to the evaluation of chronic female pelvic pain. It is important to establish a trusting patient–physician relationship. When evaluating a female patient with chronic pelvic pain, an in-depth history and targeted physical exam can localize contributors to pain. While limited, corresponding imaging and laboratory work should also be considered.
