Background: Infertility is a widespread global health concern that impacts millions of people of reproductive age worldwide. Statistics indicate that around one in every six individuals of reproductive age experience infertility at some point in their lives. Methods: From May 2022 to October 2022, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the National Institute of Medical Sciences & Research in Jaipur conducted a prospective study within a hospital setting. Results: On Liquid-based Pap smear 79.38% patients were present NlLM, 11.88% patients were present ASCUS, 3.75% patients were presenting inflammatory and 3.75% patients were present HSIL & 1.25 of LSIL. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that infertile patients, particularly those with tubal factor infertility, exhibit a higher propensity for cervical cytological abnormalities. Therefore, these patients could potentially benefit from increased cervical cytological screening. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...
