The results of the study obtained were subjected to statistical analysis.The survey showed that the main reasons for reporting to a gynecologist were: menstruation disorders (59.50% of re- spondents), and use of contraception (n=52; 26.00%), whereas for 39.50% of women in the survey, vulvovaginitis was not a sufficient reason to report to a gynecologist.Based on the studies performed, the following conclusions were drawn: in the opinions of the women examined, men- struation disorders and use of contraception were reasons for reporting to a gynecologist, while vulvovaginitis was not a sufficient cause to use the advice of a gynecologist.
