The present study was done among 500 women of reproductive age group. Study revealed overall prevalence rate of RTI of 44.8%. Excessive vaginal discharge was the most common presenting symptom (42.0%). Inspite of such an high prevalence of reproductive tract infections, only 22.8% of the women sought treatment for their problem. The study suggests to improve the awareness about RTI and its treatment facility among women and also recommends to develop a strategy to train and reorient the health personnel.
