Prolapse pain or pelvic dysfunction??

I'm 49 and I've been having period like pains, hip ache, low back ache and some rectal type pressure for last 10 days. I'm post menopausal. I have a uterine prolapse and cystocele after my second birth. I had a bit of this in April, had a CA 125 test as doctor said this was best she could do as at height of lockdown...which came back negative and pain went away. I'm not sure what has triggered this again. I do get health anxiety so my minds gone into overdrive and I'm thinking all types of nasty things. I've spoken to gp and she says as had scan 3 years ago and blood test in April and no red flags to wait and see how it goes, but on my request has made a referral to a women's physio. I walk a few miles daily and don't know if this has just gradually made it worse. I always need a wee and this hasn't changed much. My bowels seem fine. My main worry is the period like pain and don't know if this is normal for prolapses or pelvic dysfunction?? I can feel the prolapse when I walk and tend to try and squeeze/pull up. I can also feel it with my fingers and know that it protrudes a little. Can anyone advise as this is really getting me down now and wondering if I need to push for scan to see if anything more sinister going on?? Thanks

Just as an add on...the pelvic pain is better when standing and walking, worse when sitting.
