I was reading a forum about people who had pain during ovulation (but not necessarily IC), something I've experienced lately, and many, many people who responded said they had a tilted uterus. I thought that was interesting. I guess that is the same thing as a prolapsed uterus, but I'm not sure. One woman, I remember, said that her uterus was prolapsed and pushing on her bladder and rectum. I know this can be a genetic thing, since my mother also has this. But I just wondered if it can also be caused by panic attacks and clenching. I sometimes feel like my labia is numb on one side and something is going to fal out of me, but it seems like the doctors would have noticed it (as many as I've been to) if they had seen anything wrong like that. Not sure what causes that numbness.
