Scientists have revealed the main reasons why women do not go to see a doctor. More than a quarter of the respondents believed that work is more important than going to the hospital, a third of women admitted that they would better spend the day with their family than on examination. A role is played by inattentive doctors who miss the symptoms of the disease, says The Daily Mail.

Doctors missed every third case of mental problems. Approximately the same number of women did not receive adequate help for complaints of sexual health disorders.

Many found it difficult to tell the doctor the truth about their symptoms.. 35% of doctors did not take patients' complaints seriously, 25% did not at all understand what the person was talking about.

If the doctor does not confirm the patient's fears, he begins to doubt his feelings, ignores pain and other symptoms. Scientists recommend that both physicians and patients be more careful at their appointments so as not to miss dangerous illnesses.
