Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we understand the importance of early detection and prevention in women’s health. Our routine cervical screening service is a critical element of preventative care for women based in Brighton Park and surrounding areas. A Pap smear is an essential medical test for detecting any abnormal cells that could indicate cervical cancer. Rest assured our dedicated clinical team will ensure your full comfort and privacy throughout this process, with results carefully reviewed to give you complete peace of mind.
Our clinic also provides comprehensive HPV testing and vaccination services, designed to safeguard you from HPV-related diseases that can potentially lead to cervical cancer.

We ensure a stress-free colposcopy experience for every woman necessitating this service around Brighton Park.
Another vital procedure we provide at Womens Health Group Chicago is cryotherapy – a potent management technique used when precancerous cell changes have been detected on your cervix scene during colposcopy; where cold temperatures are indorsed on cellular level facilitating necrosis & destruction without causing harm to healthy tissues surrounding them. Trust us as we help navigate through these steps reassuring safety prioritized outcomes
In some cases, we may recommend a LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) for women in Brighton Park with high-grade abnormalities detected during colposcopy. This minor surgical procedure removes precancerous cells from the cervix, thus preventing any progression towards cervical cancer.

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.
