Cervical Screening Outcomes in Reproductive-Age Women at Peripheral Health Centers

Abstract

Objective: to ascertain the prevalence of different cervical abnormalities in connection t pap smear results with age distribution of patient.

Method: The demographic makeup of the study population was deduced by calculating the percentages of patients in each age group. Numerous diseases were also identified using the results of the Pap smear test, and percentages associated with each diagnosis were computed. This methodology made it possible to thoroughly analyze the participants' diagnoses and age distribution, which revealed trends in cervical health. One hundred participants in all had Pap smears performed as part of the study. Four age groups were established based on the age distribution data gathered: 18–25, 25–35, 35–45, and 45–55 years old.

Result: The majority of participants (37%) were found to be between the ages of 25 and 35, while there was a wide variation of participant ages overall. Pap smear tests are crucial for identifying potentially malignant or precancerous diseases, as evidenced by the majority of patients (71%) receiving a diagnosis of cancer or intraepithelial lesions. There was also representation from the following age groups: 18–25 (9%), 35–45 (28%), and 45–55 (4%). Four percent of the cases had atypical squamous cell lesions, two percent had low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, and one percent had high-grade lesions.

Conclusion: These findings advance customized screening programs and therapies aimed at specific age groups and diagnostic categories as well as our knowledge of cervical health patterns. People who are fertile should definitely get screened for cervical cancer because the age group of 25 to 35 accounts for a substantial portion of diagnoses. The importance of Pap smear testing for early identification and preventive medicine is underscored by the prevalence of intraepithelial lesions or cancer.
