Epidemiological Survey Of Rural Married Women Of Reproductive Age Gynecological Disease And Its Risk Factors

OBJECTIVE:To know the essentiality and the familiar patterns of infective diseases in reproductive tract such as chronic cervicitis,colpitis,chronic pelvitis,we researched the epidemiology and risk factors of leukorrhagia among married women in countryside and instituted corresponding preventable measures. And these results can be consulted by the correlative health organizations to promote the development of regional hygiene enterprise and improve women's holistic health in countryside. METHODS:Adopting the method of population sample,we investigated 809 married women in child-bearing period in Ningnan county,Liangshan Yi nationality municipality,Sichuan province. These women accepted questionnaire,gynecology examination,B-ultrasonic diagnosis and leucorrhea routine test. RESULTS:The research results show that among married women in countryside,the incidence of leukorrhagia is 30.69%. The main factors caused leukorrhagia are infective diseases in reproductive tract including chronic cervicitis,colpitis and so on,and the chronic cervicitis is uppermost which is 47.53% of all of the factors. Through statistics analyzing to the relative factors and studying of criticality,the results show that nationality,age,parity have obvious influence to the incidence of leukorrhagia (p<0.05). Through the study of the TCM epidemiology of leukorrhagia,we screened out the most familiar symptoms,secondary familiar symptoms and non-familiar symptoms. And also the main types of leukorrhagia have been advanced for the local women. CONCLUSIONS:1. Women in countryside lack knowledge and consciousness of personal hygiene,especially in minority regions. 2. Communications caused by mildew are increasing because of improper usage of sanitary towels and abusive medications. 3. Mixed infects are increasing. It is a long time hard work to improve the women's healthy conditions in countryside especially in remote mountainous areas. So it needs efforts made by many correlative institutions. We should attach importance to prevention and cure of familiar disease,frequently-occurring disease and pervasive disease. Family planning work and primary health propaganda need enhanced. At the same time,it is necessary to termly organize health officers to make corresponding examinations for the countryside women so as to discover,diagnosis and cure the disease as fast as we can. To protect countryside women's health and enhance their constitutions,it is effective to treat disease with Traditional Chinese Medicine.
