Imagine that you started to bleed unexpectedly from your genitals. How long would it take you to visit a doctor?
Many persons might respond with “immediately” or even “a few hours” and scoff at the idea of waiting longer than these periods to visit a doctor if they exhibited such a symptom. However, how many of the previous answers would remain the same when factors such as finances, access to doctors, and the invasiveness of some checkups come into the equation?
Has “immediately” become a day? A day a week? Or longer?
In theory, the answer to the initial question should be a frantic “right away!”
