Background: Reproductive health is a crucial part of general health and a central feature of human development. Data on the epidemiology of reproductive-organ morbidity are needed to guide effective interventions, to set health-care priorities, and to target future research.
Objective: To study the prevalence of RTI/STI among women of reproductive age group
Material and methods: One hundred eighty one and one hundred four women participants from urban slums and rural area were included in the study. The RTI/STI were classified and treated according to syndromic case management.
Results: RTI/STI was diagnosed in 51.38% of participants in urban and 62.5% of women in rural with prevalence of 39.2% in urban and 45.19 % in rural area, the most common syndrome diagnosed was vaginal and cervical discharge syndrome (as per syndromic case management of RTI/STIs).

Background: Global estimates showed that, between 5-15% of the burden of diseases is associated with failure to address reproductive health needs. More accurate data on RTI/STIs and their underlying causes will result in more appropriate programmatic and policy responses.Objective: To study use of predictors as proxy for determining the possible diagnosis of RTI/STIs
Material and methods: One hundred and thirty three and ninety women suffering from RTI/STI from urban slums and rural area were included in the study. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine predictors of morbidity.
Results: The predictors for RTI/STI in study participants were Parity, sanitary protection use and domestic violence at P<0.05.
