I wanted to thank you for raising such important issue nowadays  
I have some queries that I think it should be revised  
 
1. I know that the study nature was prospective, why you didn't include more women or lengthen 
data collection period  for me the generalisability (wide use of your data) is restricted by 
conducting the study over 2 months in single center over only 21 women  and not even 
homogeneous  as 6 of them had conization I know well this is unchangeable now esp you finished 
data collection since 2015 but at least you should offer an explanation  
 
2. The way of representing your data seems subjective more than objective  
Why you didn't use frequency and percentage in representing demographic data of women 
instead of treating your data as if it was a case series  
MOREOVER you could recognize specific assigned responses of women to get a quantitative as 
well as qualitative rep resentation of the health care information problems instead of writing 
conversations.  
 
3. The manuscript needs meticulous English editing as there are repeated obvious grammar 
errors.
