Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the utmost importance of routine cervical screenings for all women in Berkeley. Regular screenings can detect any abnormal cells or changes occurring in your cervix, allowing us to intervene early and possibly prevent more serious issues from developing later. Our knowledgeable and caring team promises an experience that is comfortable, supportive, and respectful of your individual health needs.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common infections linked to cervical cancer. Womens Health Group Chicago provides comprehensive HPV testing services developed to identify high-risk types of this virus before they progress into serious conditions. We also offer a robust vaccination program tailored for each individual’s unique body requirements and age group aimed at reducing the risk of acquiring HPV.
Our clinic offers colposcopy – a specialized diagnostic procedure providing magnified view of the cervix aiding in detecting abnormalities often invisible to naked eyes. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, our skilled practitioners employ advanced technology coupled with their expertise making this process as easy-going as possible for our client base throughout Berkeley.
We are continuously striving to bring you effective nonsurgical treatments like Cryotherapy—a safe therapy used primarily for treating precancerous cells on the cervix recognized during screening sessions like pap smears or colposcopies. Over time it has proven effective by freezing off these abnormal growths swiftly while causing minimal discomfort under expert care provided by Womens Health Group Chicago.
The Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) offered by our clinic utilizes low-voltage electrical current technology which makes it possible both diagnose lesions followed by treatment directly if needed—it’s efficiency wrapped within minimal convenience saving valuable time without compromising over quality healthcare assurance residing every woman’s right.
Once an abnormal result is detected, it’s vital to follow up with the expert consultation. Women’s Health Group Chicago takes this seriously and assures personalized post-test consultations to discuss implications of results and make collectively informed decisions on future health roadmap tailored primarily around our patient’s unique requisites ensuring their peace of mind and continued good health.

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.
