The Carcinoma of cervix is commonly seen in fifth decade of life though it is initiated almost 8 to 10 years earlier. This is a crucial period with wide span in which if we act appropriately, we can avoid the disease or cure it completely. There are many screening methods which have different sensitivity and specificity. This study is intended to search out suitable and easy method of cervical carcinoma screening. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the patients having white discharge or other genitourinary complaints by cytology, colposcopy and histopathology. 2) To find the individual efficacy of cytology, colposcopy in correlation with histopathology and combined correlation of these modalities. Materials and methods: Following study was conducted on 100 patients coming to Gynaecology OPD with gynaecological complaints after obtaining consent. Results: In present study, the positive predictive value (PPV) of cytology as well as colposcopy was high for detection of malignancy than benign lesions and LSIL. The negative predictive value of cytology for CIN 3 was high (95.92%) as compared to CIN 1(81.63%). Specificity was found low in colposcopy for CIN1 (95.06%) as compared to PAP smear (98.77%). Conclusion:Cytology and colposcopy combined can become a better method for screening in perspective of high sentivity, specificity and positive predictive value.
Introduction: Stress is an integral part of medical profession. Sedentary lifestyle has a great impact over many health problems. Reproductive health is one of the contributing factor to overall female health. Reproductive health problems have significant role in woman's total life. These problems also increases stress further & have major effect over psychosocial health. All are intermingled with each other.

Introduction:The aims of this study were to identify the prevalence of reproductive tract infection (RTI) in married women of reproductive age group (18-45 years), to analyze the impact of socioeconomic and demographic factors on RTIs, to treat the underlying cause. Materials and methods: A total of 500 women were examined; out of those, 300 women were found to have RTIs and were enrolled for further study and evaluation. Appropriate antibiotics were given to them and then followed. Results: The study results showed a high prevalence of RTI (60%). The highest prevalence was found among the age group between 26 years and 29 years, followed by 30-33 years and 34-37 years. The most affected women were from rural population (80%), low socioeconomic group (63.4%), and illiterate (59%). Conclusion:The present study showed a high prevalence of RTI. It needs a further deep study on their literacy and economic factors to evaluate and analyze the impact of these factors on RTIs.
