Correlational Analytical Study of Symptomatology , Pap and Colposcopic Findings in Reproductive Age Group Women in a Tertiary Care Centre

Abstract

Background: The current study is done to study cervical epithelial changes in a reproductive age group women at tertiary care center through investigation modality called Pap smear and its correlation with various symptoms and colposcopic findings. Methods: This is a retrospective analytical study of 79 women of reproductive age group done at CAMA AND ALBLESS HOSPITALS. The cervical smear was taken from all patients using the Ayre#x2019;s spatula by scrape cytology method. Then we did Colposcopy for patients with highly suspicious malignant and unhealthy cervix and with inflammatory pap smear not relieved on antibiotics. Finally, cervix biopsy was done for cases for suspected malignancy on the Pap smear. Results: Inflammatory smears were seen in 35.44 %, ASCUS in 5.06%, LSIL in 3.7% and invasive carcinoma in 5.06% patients. The patients having white discharge PV or menorrhagia had ASCUS and AGCUS on Pap smear which had squamous metaplasia (3.3%), HPV infection (1.6%) and invasive cancer. HSIL and Invasive carcinoma showed invasive carcinoma.
