Abstract

Women who first become sexually active at an early age (before age 16) are at  higher than average risk of developing cervical cancer. In addition, women who have had multiple sexual partners are also at higher risk for cervical cancer. This is because these women are at higher risk of contracting the human papillomavirus (HPV), which cannot be prevented by using condoms or other birth control methods. A detailed clinical history was taken from each patient regarding age, religion, husband’s occupation, socioeconomic status, marital status, menstrual status, parity, obstetric status, history of use of contraception, history of chemotherapy and any previous abnormal cytology of cervix. Approximately 74% of cases across all categories were seen in low socioeconomic status. This percentage was roughly maintained across all diagnosis 80% of SCC, 87.5% of HSIL 93.3% of LSIL& 90% of ASC-US. An increased percentage of ASC-H (33.3%) was seen in middle group.
