Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we consider Routine Cervical Screening as one of the first lines of defense against cervical cancer. This critical checkup can identify any abnormal changes in your cervix that could potentially develop into a serious condition if left unchecked. Our experienced specialists are here to make this procedure comfortable, discreet and informative for women from Evanston and its surroundings. We believe early detection is key to maintaining optimal health which further underlines the importance of these screenings.
Womens Health Group Chicago offers reliable HPV testing services alongside strategic vaccination plans designed to prevent human papillomavirus infection – a major causative agent of cervical cancer among women. We are dedicated to equipping our patients with necessary information regarding the risks associated with HPV infection. Committed to serving you, we ensure our clinic provides an avenue for seamless access to world-class HPV testing facilities and protective vaccinations for all females visiting us from Evanston.
Our comprehensive care includes Colposcopy examinations which provide deeper insights into a woman’s gynecological health status especially when routine Pap Smear results appear questionable or abnormal. At Womens Health Group Chicago, colposcopy exams help in investigating unusual cells found during routine screening procedures including a Pap smear test while providing clearer and magnified images hence ensuring accurate diagnosis.
In addition to diagnostic procedures like colposcopies, Women’s Health Group Chicago also facilitates Cryotherapy treatments – a generally safest outpatient method employed in addressing precancerous conditions caused by HPV infections noted during routine Pap smears or colposcopies on women living in Evanston area too.
For those requiring more advanced intervention due to abnormal Pap Smear findings, Womens Health Group Chicago performs LEEP procedures. Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) is a treatment that prevents cervical cancer by removing abnormal cells from the cervix using an electrically charged wire loop. Our clinic’s goal is to make these advanced interventions as comfortable and hassle-free as possible for all women visiting us from Evanston.
We understand that any form of health-related concern can provoke anxiety, especially when it relates to difficult diagnoses, hence we offer diligent follow-up consultations for patients with abnormal results. At Womens Health Group Chicago, your peace of mind matters to us and our team ensures every woman feels cared for in her journey towards recovery or maintaining optimal gynecological 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.
