intersting study 
I have included few recommendations to make stronger
Introduction
Background is comprehensive and detailed main concepts 
They provided the reader with sufficient details about the topic 
As a reviewer from another culture, I suggest to add a paragraph about women in
your culture, is it male dominant society or what is the status of women's right?
This will help others to compare and bring more value to your study 
Methods
What is the nationalities of the recruited women? They are all the same
I suggest you add justifications for why you excluded women above 35? 
Because this is a new instrument you created, I suggest you add it as an appendix
for the reader
Poisson regression is not commonly used. Just add few sentences for
justifications for its use and what does it add
Because you have used a mixed method, I suggest to add diagram of data
collection for clarity. The utilization of mixed method seems to be reasonable in
your case
Elaborate more on data analysis in qualitative part. What type of coding you
used, manual coding how you come out with the themes?
What is clear to me also the questions asked in the qualitative phase and how
they are different that the quantitative ones you created in your survey 
This is critical component
Results 
Sufficient and clear 
Discussion 
Two issues must be added
Recommendation for men. In term future study must include also men 
Second, I do not see comparisons across women in different countries. Women
in other cultures may have different expectations and experiences. 
Also how about clinicians who work with women. please give recommendation
to the healthcare system
