THE ATTITUDE OF BULGARIAN WOMEN TOWARDS THE SYMPTOM OF EXTRAMENSTRUAL GENITAL BLEEDING

Valentin Irmov, Assen Pachedjiev, Petar Petrov

Abstract


For the majority of respondents, non-menstrual bleeding is mainly associated with hormonal disorders. By increasing the education of women, the relative share of those who associate the emergence of non-menstrual genital bleeding with the risk of neoplastic disease increases. Nearly a quarter of women with extramural uterine bleeding have not taken any measures, but have waited to see if they will stop from itself. Increasing the education of the women studied leads to an increase in the relative share of those who would immediately seek specialized medical assistance in non-menstrual uterine bleeding.
