About one-third of the total disease burden among women aged 15-44 years in the developing countries is linked to pregnancy, childbirth, abortion, and reproductive tract infections (RTI). [3] RTI is a common yet neglected health problem affecting health and social well-being of women in their most productive age. [4] The annual incidence of RTI and sexually transmitted infection (STI) in India is estimated at 5% or approximately 40 million every year. [5] Although early detection and treatment of RTIs can prevent complications and minimize the severity of longterm sequel, still RTIs remain undiagnosed and untreated. Background: Reproductive tract infections (RTIs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) present a huge burden of disease and adversely impact reproductive health of people. They are more common in developing countries than developed. Objective: (1) To study the awareness, prevalence, and factors associated with RTIs among women aged 15-49 years residing in two slum areas of Bangalore city. (2) To assess the treatment seeking behavior for symptoms suggestive of RTIs in the past 1 year. Materials and Methods: Using systematic random sampling, 470 women of age group 15-49 years were studied from June 2010 to September 2011. Data were collected using a structured pretested questionnaire at their houses. Result: A total of 29.15% women had symptom suggestive of RTIs. White discharge was reported by 17.45%, genital skin infections by 14.47%, lower abdominal pain by 9.15%, complain of genital ulcer reported in 0.21%, and none complained of inguinal bubo. Symptoms of RTI were higher in young, Muslim women, those with higher education and poor menstrual hygiene. Only 62 (45.25%) symptomatic women had sought some form of treatment. Private doctors were preferred by 87% of women who sought treatment and only 6.7% went to government doctors. None had adequate knowledge regarding RTIs and 324 (68.93%) women had some knowledge. Conclusion: About one-third of the women had experienced at least one symptom of RTI in the past 1 year. Women in reproductive age group showed very poor awareness regarding RTI and poor treatment seeking behavior for the same.
