Objective To examine the coverage of gynecological diseases screening in Guangdong province and to analyze the prevalence rate common gynecological diseases and its changing trend among 20 – 64 years old women in the province for developing effective intervention measures for the prevention and control of gynecological diseases.
Methods We collected yearly national notifiable statistic tables for gynecological disease screening in 144 counties or districts across Guangdong province from 2008 to 2017. Then the prevalence rate of gynecological diseases and its variation trend were retrospectively analyzed.
Results During the 10-year period, totally 65 227 776 person times of gynecological diseases screening were performed among the women aged 20 – 64 years and the screening rate was increased from 30.74% in 2008 to 77.24% in 2017 in the province. A decreasing trend for the prevalence of common gynecological diseases but an increasing trend for the prevalence of vaginitis were observed during the period. The proportion of diagnosed vaginitis in reproductive tract infections increased yearly from 40.03% in 2008 to 61.99% in 2017. The detection rate of cervical cancer and breast cancer were higher among female malignant tumors.
Conclusion From 2008 to 2017 in Guangdong province, the coverage rate of common gynecological diseases screening increased gradually; the prevalence rate of common gynecological diseases decreased but the that of vaginitis increased. The study results suggest that surveillance and early interventions on reproductive tract infection should be promoted for the improvement of women health.
