Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the crucial role of cervical screening in guarding against health issues such as cervical cancer. This is why we offer comprehensive routine cervical screening services to the women of Lyons and surrounding areas. Our highly trained medical professionals use modern equipment to carry out these procedures in a comfortable, stress-free environment.
We’re committed to helping our patients protect themselves from diseases like HPV (Human Papillomavirus), which can cause various forms of cancer, including those related to the cervix. That’s why reduced-risk prevention strategies such as HPV Testing and Vaccinations form an integral part of our services at Womens Health Group Chicago for the residents of Lyons.
Not all abnormalities detected through pap smears are dangerous. However, discerning benign changes from precancerous or cancerous ones requires advanced diagnostic procedures like Colposcopy – a service proudly offered by Womens Health Group Chicago. Our experienced practitioners perform this procedure with precision and care whilst taking you through every step ensuring your comfortability throughout the entire process.
Cryotherapy offers an effective treatment method for pre-cancerous conditions discovered via colposcopy exams or other testing methods. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we utilize cryotherapy techniques that are both proven safe and effective in treating early-stage abnormal tissue found on your cervix. Throughout each treatment session, our clinicians focus on your comfort while delivering personalized care unique to you.
Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) is another essential service provided at Womens Health Group Chicago where abnormal cellular growths recognized during other tests or screenings could be ostentatiously removed preventing progression into cervical cancer.
With this state-of-the-art technology combined with years of professional hands-on experience, you can rest assured knowing that your health is being upheld to the highest standard of care.
Sometimes Pap smears and other tests could lead to abnormal findings; when this happens, Womens Health Group Chicago ensures regular follow-ups tailored uniquely for Lyons women dealing with such outcomes. These consultations not only enable a close monitoring of any conditions but also provide an avenue for questions and necessary reassurances offering a holistic approach in maintaining optimum wellness.

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.
