The manuscript is improved and the major issues I have raised in two former reviews are finally
adeqautly met, 
A couple remaining minor issues:
- The power calculation is still obscure and seem unrelated to the research question. (What probability
is expected to find what level of "socio-demographic characteristics and related factor")
- Some of the new amendments are in inferior English, hard to comprehend: E.g. "Twelve (23.1%) of
women who had a history of sexual contact before 18 years old
12(23.1%) of women who had multiple sexual partners were screened. About 58% of who didn't use
the condom during sexual contact and 42.3% who used oral contraceptive pills for more than one year
were screened. About twenty-nine percent of participants who had a history of either hypertension,
diabetes, infertility or irregular menses were screene" 
- These new statement also seem to be incorrect. According to table 3, 12 out of 111 women with
sexual debut before 18 years of age were screened = 11%, and so on
I can endores publication if these points are corrected.
