“…In another study done by Vijaya Lakshmi P, Sree Gouri SR 1 the prevalence of white discharge and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease was 35%. Similar results were found by Verma A et al 7 In those who were declared negative for intraepithelial lesion or Malignancy around 55% had normal smear and the rest had some infections. Bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis and non-specific inflammation were around 10 %, while candida was 12%.…”

Background: About one million deaths amongst world's women population are attributed to cancer cervix every year. Pap smear is a widely accepted screening method used to detect potentially precancerous and cancerous processes in the cervix. Objective: To find out the prevalence of abnormal pap smear conditions in women attending Gynaecology outpatient department. Methods: This retrospective study was carried out in the Gynaecology unit during January 1 st 2018 to December 31 st 2018 on 537 pap smear samples. The data was entered in excel and was presented in percentages. Results: 43.45% had complaints of white discharge. 5.5% had epithelial cell abnormality; around 85% were negative for intraepithelial lesion or Malignancy. 4.35% of the study population had Atypical squamous cells high grade cannot be excluded ASC-H and also Adenocarcinoma. None had atypical glandular cells. Conclusion: Regular screening camps should be organized by local government and medical fraternity to benefit women to reach the whole community.

“…A moderate incidence of SIL ranging from 6.4 to 7.1% was reported in rural women by Das Gupta et al [5] and Deodhar et al [6, 7]. Verma et al [8] reported an SIL rate of 8.0% in a tertiary hospital in the rural area of Himanchal Pradesh, India. A moderate SIL incidence of 8.3% was also seen by Khasnabish et al [9] in a rural screening program in Tripura, a northeastern state of India [9].…”

Objective: Cytological screening was carried out in rural women of Lucknow West, India, through a camp approach to detect cervical cancer in its preinvasive phase and to see whether the primitive living conditions in the villages have any effect on the incidence of precancer and carcinoma of the cervix and the associated predisposing factors of cervical carcinogenesis. Study Design: During a span of 4 years (May 2013 to March 2017), a total of 135 camps were organized under the auspice of Era’s Lucknow Medical College and Hospital (Lucknow, India). Only 4,269 (31.2%) out of 13,500 women who were motivated and counseled attended the camp and 2,369 (55.1%) of them underwent a Pap smear examination. Results: The incidence of squamous intraepithelial lesions of the cervix (SIL) was found to be very high (18.2%) in the 2,369 women who were screened, but the majority of them were of a low grade. The SIL incidence was very high for all predisposing factors like gynaecological symptoms, age, and clinical lesions of the cervix. However, the SIL rate showed a rise with increasing parity. Candida albicans was more common in rural women (4.7%) than Trichomonas vaginalis (1.1%), and a low incidence of viral sexually transmitted diseases (STD) was seen. Conclusions: Organizing camps in the villages through proper counseling and motivation may help in the screening of larger numbers of women for early detection of cervical cancer, the adequate treatment of which will check the progression of the disease and thus minimize the incidence of carcinoma of the cervix and its associated mortality in the rural population of India.
