A COMPARISON OF THE ROLE OF "REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH"IN DEVELOPMENT OF TRICHOMONAS VAGINITIS IN TWO GROUPS OF WOMEN USING I. U.D. AND WITH DRA WAL METHODS OF CONTRACEPTION

One of the most frequently faced problems by women during the reproductive age period is vaginits and trichomonas vaginilis plays an important role in the development of this disease . As Trichomonas vaginilis is found both in vaginal and seminal discharge , reproductive health ( age of first coitus , number of pregnancies, number of deliveries, number of sexual partners, sexual partners, sexual behaviours , frequency of coitus per week , and personal hygiene of the individual) play an important role in the development of this disease . Therefore, with the intention of determining the role of " Reproductive Health"in the development of Trichomonas vaginitis, this study was performed with the following aim : Comparison of the role of " Reproductive Health."in development of Tr . vaginits in two groups of women using IUD and withdrawal methods of contraception referring to the health centers of Mesh ad university . Group I comprised of 104 women using IUD while group II comprised of 94 women using the withdrawal method of contraception . Women in both the groups had been using the above methods of contraception for one year or more . Data was collected by asking the women to fill out a special questionnaire and later the vulva, vagina and cervix were examined for discharge and if present , specimens were sent to one laboratory for evaluation . Statistical analysis was performed using T , Fishers and chi - square test . A significant relationship was observed between Trichomonas vaginitis and number of coitus (p < 0.00 ) , number of deliveries (P< 0.013) and personal hygiene status (P< 0.024) in IUD users, but variables such as age of first coitus and gravidity had no significant relationship with Tr . vaginitis in both groups . Taking into consideration the results of this study we conclude, that Reproductive Health plays an important role in determining the health status of women and proper implementation can promote the health status of women in our society .
