%X Objective: To describe the screening for uterine cancer by
visual methods. Method: We conducted a prospective and descriptive study over a period of 12 months from January
to December 2020. Direct observation of providers and interview of patients were performed for data collection. Results: Out of 3400 patients, 1024 were enrolled for the study, or 30.11%. The average age of the patients was 41 years with
the extremes of 17 to 87 years. Women aged 40 to 45 were the most represented
with 58.78%, (n = 602). Housewives 85.83% (n = 879), they had a primary
education level in 71.09% of cases (n = 728), the vast majority were married
92.28% (n = 945). Multiparous represented 58.78% (n = 602) of the sample,
nulliparous 18.26% (n = 187), women living in rural areas 30.17% (n = 309), in
urban areas 69.82% (n = 715). The test was positive in 43 patients (4.19%) but squamocylindrical junction was not visible in
17% of cases. The preparation of acetic acid and lugol: good preparation in 100% of cases; the conditions of use are not respected in 27% for acetic acid and 38%
for lugol. Conclusion: Routine
screening for cervical cancer (SCC) by visual methods is essential to decrease
the incidence of invasive cervical cancer.
