Urban women are mostly dual-career mothers who, on one hand, are under increasingly greater stress from work and, on the other hand, have to shoulder family responsibilities and take care of their children. Whenever they experience any physical discomfort, such as abnormal bleeding, abdominal pain or severe menstrual pain, they tend to attribute it to stress, while these signs could be symptoms of early gynecological diseases.

Ovarian cancer and cervical cancer are the 6th and 8th most common cancer among Hong Kong women respectively. Recent statistics have shown a tendency for early onset of cervical cancer, with females aged 20-70 years all being under the risk of the disease. The median age for ovarian cancer onset is 51 years old. Moreover, thyroid cancer, a disease that affects mostly women due to female hormones, ranks the 5th most common cancer among Hong Kong women.

Women are recommended to undergo gynecological check-up once a year or every other year as a preventive measure or for early diagnosis and treatment to ensure a higher chance of recovery.
