It has an acute onset, typical clinical manifestations, is not difficult to diagnose, and can usually be cured in a short period of time.

The main symptoms of psychological pelvic pain are lower abdominal pain or back pain. The lower abdominal pain can be the entire lower abdomen, bilateral or unilateral iliac fossa, or no obvious location, often accompanied by vaginal discomfort, which is continuous or intermittent dull pain or pain; patients cannot explain what factors are related to the aggravation and relief of pain; the pain is caused or aggravated by sexual intercourse, but does not affect sexual life. Patients have significant symptoms of depression, such as loss of appetite, fatigue, insomnia, loss of sexual desire or lack of interest in anything, or are impulsive and have poor self-control, and sometimes get directly angry at the doctor.

Some patients somatize all emotions, or deny and repress them, showing indifferent contentment; or they show abnormal illness behavior. They have a body bias, are convinced that they have a disease, do not respond to the doctor's assurances, and persist in their pain symptoms. Although they seek treatment and the doctor's best efforts to treat them, they still have pain. Physical examination is often accompanied by neurotic symptoms, which give the physician the impression that the patient is exhausted, depressed or anxious, nervous, and irritable. Although the pain is unbearable, no positive physical signs are found during examination. Pelvic examination revealed no positive findings, but the pelvis was overly sensitive, with severe pain even with slight palpation.
