Skip to content Our highly trained team at Womens Health Group Chicago recognizes the critical importance of routine cervical screening for maintaining overall women’s health. We believe in providing a comfortable and supportive environment throughout this essential process, thereby allowing you to communicate openly about your concerns and needs. Our skilled professionals follow a meticulous approach to perform these screenings entirely, ensuring that any potential issues like abnormal cells or early signs of cervical cancer are detected timely.
At Women’s Health Group Clinic Chicago, we are committed to combatting human papillomavirus (HPV) through advanced testing methods and vaccination services available for our clients in Morton Grove. HPV testing forms an important part of our preventive care measures against cervical cancer as it has been linked with around 99% of all cases while the administration of HPV vaccines is known to shield against persistent infection by several types.
We also offer colposcopy procedures aimed at identifying abnormalities not visible through regular screening tests or when Pap smear results raise concern. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we ensure that the procedure is done gently under expert supervision thus reducing anxiety whilst assuring maximum accuracy in detecting any abnormal changes in your cervix even before they develop into serious conditions.
Cryotherapy treatment is another aspect within our ambit designed towards securing your long-term health. It involves freezing off abnormal tissues found during cervical screenings without harming surrounding healthy ones using extremely cold temperatures achieved by liquid nitrogen gas—all performed safely by our proficient team dedicatedly serving Morton Grove community.

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.
