Screening for early carcinoma or dysplasia cervix by pap smear

Screening for early carcinoma or Dysplasia cervix by Pap smear. Out of total 500 patients dysplasia was seen in 9.6%, majority of dysplasia was seen in the age group of 31–40 years (5.6%) and 1.2% of dysplasia was seen in the age groups of 41–50 years age groups. In total number of 500 patients screened for Pap smear, 73.2% of women had inflammatory smears, 7.6% and 2.4% had atypical/mild dysplasia and dysplasia respectively. In view of more number of hysterectomies done for erosion of cervix, the incidence of unnecessary operative interventions can be reduced and also we can decrease the incidence of cervical malignancy by screening large number of population by training health workers.
