title: Pelvic pain in women.
abstract: The clinical and psychological characteristics of 18 women with pelvic pain but no demonstrable pathology have been compared with those of 17 women with a similar complaint but some form of pelvic pathology and a control group of 9 women with no gynecologic problems. The results suggest that pelvic pain can have a psychosomatic origin which is amenable to short-term psychotherapeutic measures.
