Skip to content Womens Health Group Chicago understands the significant role that routine cervical screening plays in early detection of conditions like cervical cancer. Regular screenings can help prevent the disease by identifying precancerous cells before they have a chance to become malignant. We use pap smear tests, normally recommended every three years starting from age 21, as part of our comprehensive women’s health program and provide timely reports in a comfortable and welcoming environment for all Countryside residents.
The Womens Health Group Chicago offers thorough HPV testing as part of our commitment towards safeguarding your health. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for most cases of cervical cancer, hence regular testing is crucial since it enables us to identify any potential risk factors at an early stage. Additionally, we also provide effective HPV vaccination services designed to protect against the severe strains associated with this disease.
If the results from your routine pap smear or HPV test are worrying, we invite you back for further examinations such as colposcopy. This procedure allows our trained professionals to closely examine your cervix using a special instrument called a colposcope which helps us determine if abnormal cells on your cervix could be precursors to cancer. At Womens Health Group Chicago serving Countryside area, patient education forms an integral part of what we do; thus we will discuss each procedure thoroughly with you beforehand.
In cases where abnormalities are detected during colonoscopy sessions, cryotherapy may be recommended by the specialist team at Womens Health Group Chicago – regardless whether these issues represent largely benign disorders or more serious health risks such as carcinoma development processes in situ (developing at place). Cryotherapy involves freezing unwanted tissues off living organisms using extreme cold therapy under localized conditions that ensure healthy areas remain unaffected.
The LEEP procedure, also known as Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure, is another effective approach provided when abnormal or precancerous cells are detected in the cervix. Utilizing a low-voltage electrified wire loop that cuts away specified areas without damaging surrounding tissues. The surgical consultants at Womens Health Group Chicago pride themselves on their ability to carry out this delicate operation with precision and minimal disruption to your normal routine.
Womens Health Group Chicago considers follow-up consultations an essential aspect of our patient-care routine especially after abnormal pap smear results or post-treatment evaluations. Our conversations aim to ensure that you fully understand your health status and provide further guidance where needed following any procedures carried out within the clinic premises. We believe every woman has the right to personalized quality care, which is what we strive continually to offer residents in Countryside area.

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.
