About this study
In Hong Kong, limited health literacy and cultural taboos around discussing reproductive health may exacerbate these issues, particularly among younger women or those with lower socioeconomic status.
In Hong Kong, the interplay of Western and Chinese cultural values may create unique behavioral patterns, such as reliance on Traditional Chinese Medicine for gynecological issues or avoidance of medical care due to embarrassment. However, there is a lack of comprehensive data on how these factors specifically affect women with PCOS, endometriosis, miscarriage, or infertility in Hong Kong.
This study seeks to fill this gap by examining awareness, knowledge, and help-seeking behaviors among gynecological patients and the general public. By comparing these groups, the study will identify disparities in knowledge and barriers to care, providing insights for targeted interventions to improve women's health outcomes in Hong Kong.
