Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Pathology, JLN Medical College & Hospital Ajmer.
Results: A total of 100 smears were analyzed. Out of which 96.00% smears were satisfactory for evaluation. Out of 96.00% satisfactory smears, 30.00% shows normal smear and 52.00% shows benign cellular changes and 4.00% shows epithelial cells abnormality. 5.00% smears shows Bacterial vaginosis. 45.00% were inflammatory smears.
