Abstract

Genital hygiene is part of women's reproductive health and contributesto the protection of cervix inflammatory. Several studies reveal that poor genital hygiene was one of condition that leads to developing incidence of cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL). Papsmear has known as a screening method to detect cervical cancer. The objective of this study was to assess the association between genital hygiene and cytological papsmear between women in Takengon. The study design was a cross-sectional approach by collecting cervical swab of 73 women and evaluate genital hygiene by observed cervical hygiene, presence of erosion, and fluor albus. Cytopathological papsmear was reported according to the Bethesda classification. The study found that 10(13.7%) women had good genital hygiene, while 29(39.7%) women had moderate genital hygiene and poor genital hygiene found in 34(46.6%) women. The study also showed that cytological papsmear of 8(11.0%) women were NILM (negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy) with normal smear, and 65(89.0%) women were NILM with inflammation. Chi-square test reveals no association between genital hygiene and cytological papsmear.
