Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we consider Routine Cervical Screening an essential part of women’s wellbeing. Our experienced professionals implement the highest level of precision and sensitivity to ensure a seamless experience during your appointment in Downers Grove. Regular Pap smear screenings are crucial for early detection of abnormalities such as cancerous and pre-cancerous cells, thereby offering timely prevention strategies or treatments if needed.
Just as critical is our HPV testing and vaccination service that aims to prevent Human Papillomavirus infection – a common cause underlying cervical cancers. Our adept team meticulously conducts these tests while dedicating ample time to educate about the importance of vaccinations in preventing pathogenic strains of HPV virus that primarily lead to cervical cancers.
Our Colposcopy subservice is intended for those who require a more detailed examination following irregular Pap test results or detected high-risk HPV types.

At times when treating abnormal cell growth becomes pressing after screen tests, our trusted experts can carry out Cryotherapy with utmost expertise. This treatment uses freezing techniques in destroying unwanted tissues thereby inhibiting potential progression towards severe conditions like cervical cancer without requiring hospital stays or causing significant discomforts.
If deemed necessary by our expert consultant Obstetricians/Gynaecologists based on screening results, LEEP Procedures may be recommended for optimal protection from risks associated with persistent cellular abnormalities. We maintain strict adherence to professional guidelines throughout this minor surgical procedure so you receive only superior quality care at all stages.

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.
