Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we advocate for the importance of preventative healthcare and early detection methods. One way we achieve this is through our routine cervical screening services. These screenings are crucial in early identification of any abnormalities or precancerous changes in the cervix that could lead to cervical cancer if ignored. Our team uses a procedure known as a Pap smear which is safe, relatively painless and can be quickly performed in our clinic.
In addition to regular cervical screenings, we offer HPV testing as part of our commitment to women’s health. The human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common causes of cervical cancer which underlines its significance in an effective prevention strategy. We conduct thorough HPV tests and provide valuable counseling on safeguarding against future risks associated with the virus including necessary vaccinations.
A Colposcopy is another important service provided by Womens Health Group Chicago when there are concerns following a routine Pap smear result or an HPV test outcome. This procedure allows us to examine your cervix more closely utilizing specialized instruments imparting clear images for accurate diagnosis. It aids immensely in revealing any abnormal areas within your cervix so that any potentially harmful conditions can be swiftly addressed.
For cases where there are pre-cancers cells discovered during colposcopy, Cryotherapy serves as an efficient treatment method that freezes away these unhealthy cells from the cervix thereby averting chances at their evolution into full blown malignancies down the line over time . At Womens Health Group Chicago, highly skilled professionals deliver this care seamlessly guided by expertise pulled from years of practicing gynecology – making you feel comfortable every step along the way .
Another noteworthy aspect of what makes Womens Health Group Chicago standout is our mastery of LEEP procedures. We often resort to this course of treatment where abnormalities are detected by the Pap smear or colposcopy outcomes appear more serious in nature. A Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) involves the use of a thin, low-voltage electrified wire loop to carefully excise abnormal tissues, thus preventing escalation into cancer.
While we wish all our patients have clear test results, if any sort of abnormal outcome emerges from your screenings or tests – you can trust on us not leaving anything up to chance at Womens Health Group Chicago. We are with you every step along the way – offering comprehensive follow-up consultations aimed at keeping you informed about what’s happening and plan necessary next measures if required . You will always find here an empathetic ear ready to listen and expert advice helping hand right when needed.

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.
