Introduction: According to the specialists, our health condition is significantly determined by our lifestyle. Consequently, prevention, health promotion and pro-health behavior pattern advertising are the priorities that should be taken into account while dealing with the modern health care system. The aim of this study was to analyse the women’s attitudes towards the prevention of the female reproductive system diseases.

Material and Methods: The research was conducted among women from four gynecological wards. These women were hospitalized because of the need of diagnosis and/or treatment within the genital organ. A diagnostic survey was applied as a research method. The instrument for data collection was a specially designed questionnaire.

Results: Most of the respondents were women who saw a gynecologist because of the disease symptoms (85,2%). Most women (29,6%) saw a doctor within 1-2 months after having observed anxious symptoms and 20% of respondents had been waiting until 10 months or even longer before they saw a specialist. The most women (46,4%) who did not see a doctor immediately (1-3 days), in spite of complaints, claimed that the reason for that was their negligence.

Conclusions: 1. In spite of complaints, the most of respondents did not visit a gynecologist immediately; 2. Negligence and low health awareness were the main reasons for delaying a visit to the specialist; 3. To change women’s attitudes towards the health protection, it is necessary to acquire the ability of having preventive examinations in a systematic way; 4. In order to increase the women’s attendance at the reproductive system preventive examinations, it is recommended to carry out educational activities supported by the application of the modern mass media.
