Introduction: Cervicitis was first recognized as an important clinical entity in 1984 by Brunham et al.1 Cervicitis is a frequently asymptomatic, inflammatory condition of the cervix 4 It is common with rates as high as 30–45% in some STI clinic populations Cervicitis is thought to play an important role in the transmission of HIV infection, by increasing susceptibility to HIV infection and increased HIV viral Shedding. The association of genital ulceration, particularly HSV related, with increased risk of HIV transmission risk is well recognized Aims and Objectives: to study the pattern of various RTI’s among symptomatic and asymptomatic every married women and to evaluate the Out Come of Cervicitis patients Methodology : This is prospective study of all the women attending the Gynecology OPD with suspected of Cervicitis ; with or without the vaginal discharge and with or without symptoms were included Total 283 patients were enrolled into the study Result: Overallmajority of the patients were from 20-29 In that Maximum symptomatic patients were also from 20-29 followed by 30-39,50 and above,40-49, and less than 19 years age group. Majoriy of the Symptomatic patients were having discharge i..e 113(90.60%) out of all patients having discharge than asymptomatic patients having the discharge i.e. 12 (9.60%) out of 125 this observed difference was statistically significant. The causes of cervicitis were Candidiasis, Trichomoniasis, Bacterial Vaginosis, Mixed Infection in the decreasing order, in that majority of the Trichomonas patients were symptomatic i.e. 96.30% while mostly the mixed infections were asymptomatic (32.04%). Majority of the patients suffered from the bacterial vaginosis were recovered ie 100% while persistence of problem was most common in Mixed infections followed by candidiasis 33.76% and Trichomoniasis 22.10%.Conlclusions : Symptomatic cases are mainly due to Trichomoniasis , bacterial vaginosis and they having good outcome while asyptomatic cases were mostly Mixed or Candial infection and they are having unsatisfactory outcome so all the patients with asymptomatic infections should be treated cautiously with imperial antimicrobial agent.
