R2 “I think it will help women to take action sooner. Sooner to
be like ok, I need to take action because the website shows me this is
going on with me. Or like, I don’t have to stress because it is not as

Although not all women perceived a barrier to visit their GP with
vaginal symptoms, the e-tool was supportive with regard to convenience
and anonymity. A (time consuming, and sometimes uncomfortable) consult
did not needed to be planned right away and in all cases. In case a
consultation was needed, it helped women feel more empowered in relation
to the GP with regard to knowledge and preferences and with structuring
the conversation.
