Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, your health and wellbeing are our utmost priority. That’s why we offer routine cervical screenings as a part of our comprehensive care approach, especially vital for women over the age of 21. As these tests can detect cell changes on your cervix caused by HPV before they turn into cancerous cells, early detection is key to providing effective treatment and preventing more serious complications.
Also included in our line of services is Human Papillomavirus (HPV) testing designed to identify high-risk strains that may lead to certain types of cancers including cervical cancer. We also provide vaccination against HPV for girls and women within the recommended age groups, ensuring optimal protection against this common virus.

Our colposcopies allow a magnified view of your cervix for accurate diagnosis, ensuring any potentially precancerous conditions are identified promptly.
If abnormalities are found during Routine Cervical Screening or Colposcopy procedure which requires intervention such as treatment for genital warts due to low-risk HPV infections or minor cell changes before they develop into malignancies, we offer Cryotherapy.

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.
