The therapeutic indications for gynecological examinations are, among other things: metrorrhagia, abdominalgia, puberty disorders, sexual and menopausal disorders.The objective of the study was the recognition of respondents’ opinions concerning the use of gynecologist’s advice by women.The survey covered 200 randomly selected inhabitants of the cities of Lublin and Radom and the village Jabłonna near/Ra- dom, and were performed by means of a questionnaire form designed by the author for the needs of the presented study. 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.
