[The reasons for a late diagnosis of duodenal peptic ulcer in women at a polyclinic].
The method of retrospective analysis was used to examine 240 women with duodenal ulcer. Mean time of establishing the diagnosis was 6.3 years. The causes of belated diagnosis in out-patient conditions were inadequate knowledge of atypical course of ulcer in women by the physician; incomplete evaluation of the X-ray data; infrequent fibroscopy and underestimation of endoscopic data; rare use of intragastric pH-metry.
