Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize the well-being of our female patients and understand the importance of consistent health monitoring through routine cervical screening. Serving Auburn Gresham and beyond, one key service we provide is comprehensive routine cervical screenings or Pap smears. It’s recommended that women start having these from 21 years old every three years to ensure any potential health abnormalities are caught early. Our team’s expertise coupled with modern medical technology makes detecting changes in your cervix an efficient procedure.
HPV testing can be crucial for maintaining a woman’s wellness. That’s why at our clinic, HPV testing forms a vital part of our prevention framework against anomalies such as genital warts, precancers, and other cancers caused by this virus. To further protect future generations from potentially harmful viruses like HPV types 16 and 18 which cause most cases of cervical cancer, we offer safe vaccinations in line with international best practices.
When there are abnormal results from a pap smear or high-risk HPV infection lapse detected during initial screening, you might be referred for colposcopy—a non-invasive procedure aimed to closely examine your cervix. At Women’s Health Group Chicago we strive to make the process as comfortable possible using state-of-the-art equipment operated by highly trained staff members knowledgeable about sensitivities surrounding such examination procedures.
Our commitment towards ensuring feminine holistic wellness goes above given consultations alone; it includes providing treatment options based on individual needs too! For instance—cryotherapy: it efficiently helps treat abnormal cells found on your cervix before they become problematic resulting in minimal discomfort due to its cutting-edge ‘freezing’ mechanism.
Sometimes removal of abnormal cells is indicated after identifying cervical changes; this is where the Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) comes in. Offered at our clinic, Women’s Health Group Chicago, the LEEP procedure safely and effectively removes abnormal cells from your cervix to prevent progression into cancer. Our top priority remains secure patient health making us an optimal choice for maintaining optimal feminine wellness within Auburn Gresham.
We understand that receiving news about any abnormalities can be distressing which is why we are thorough in our follow-ups after each test or treatment administered at our clinic. Meeting not just physical needs but offering emotional support too—we firmly believe open doctor-patient communication creates a comfortable environment enhancing prospects towards achieving improved outcomes amongst women residing around the target city of Auburn Gresham and beyond.

A Pap smear is a screening test to detect abnormal cells on the cervix, the opening to the uterus. It is a simple and quick procedure that can be done during a routine pelvic exam.
A Pap smear is important because it can help detect cervical cancer early, when it is most treatable. Cervical cancer is a slow-growing cancer, so regular Pap smears can help catch it before it spreads to other parts of the body.
The American Cancer Society recommends that women start getting Pap smears at age 21, or sooner if they are sexually active. Women aged 21-29 should get a Pap smear every 3 years. Women aged 30-65 should get a Pap smear and HPV test every 5 years. Women who have certain risk factors, such as HIV or a history of cervical cancer, may need to get Pap smears more often.
During a Pap smear, your doctor will insert a speculum into your vagina to hold the walls open. They will then use a small brush or spatula to collect cells from the cervix. The cells are then placed on a slide and sent to a laboratory for testing.
A Pap smear result is considered normal if no abnormal cells are found. If abnormal cells are found, your doctor may recommend further testing, such as an HPV test or colposcopy.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus that can cause abnormal cell changes on the cervix. Most people who are infected with HPV clear the virus on their own, but some people develop persistent HPV infections. Persistent HPV infections can lead to cervical cancer.
An HPV test is a screening test that detects the presence of HPV in the cervix. HPV tests are often done in conjunction with Pap smears, but they can also be done on their own.
A colposcopy is a procedure that allows your doctor to examine the cervix and vagina more closely. During a colposcopy, your doctor will use a special microscope to magnify the cervix and vagina. They may also take a biopsy (small sample of tissue) to test for abnormal cells.
