One way to understand women's health care needs is by understanding the extent and type of illnesses they suffer from.
Objective: To study the prevalence of gyneacological morbidity among urban and rural women of reproductive age group

Results: On examination, 65.19% women in urban slum and 79.8% of women in rural area had one or more gynecological morbidity.The most common finding on clinical examination was vaginitis (21.54%) and cervicitis (12.15%) in urban area while vaginitis (21.15%), cervicitis (15.38%) and PID (14.42%) were most common finding in rural area.
