Abstract
Introduction: Cancer cervix being the most common cancer of the female population in India needs early screening and interventions in high-risk females. Pap smears is the gold standard method of screening women of all ages for possible epithelial lesions of cervix which are precursor lesions of cancer cervix. Objectives: 1. To observe the various gynecological symptoms in patients presenting to a tertiary care centre. 2. To correlate various demographic factors with their clinical symptoms. 3. To correlate their Pap smear findings with their signs & symptoms & various demographic factors. Materials & Methods: In the present study, we assessed the clinical manifestations of females presenting to the Gynecology out- patient department and correlated the Pap smear findings with the symptoms and other demographic factors. Results: The most common age group was 40 – 49 years (42%). The most common presenting symptom (23%) was Abnormal/Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (AUB/DUB). Inflammatory smear was the most common diagnosis on pap-smears (52%). Epithelial lesions constituted 4% of the total cases. LSIL was the most common epithelial lesion.
