Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we deeply value the health and well-being of every woman. Our expert team recognizes that routine cervical screenings play a vital role in a thriving women’s wellness strategy. These pain-free tests aid us to uncover any irregularities or pre-cancerous cells early on allowing for effective treatment plans. Remember, prevention is better than cure.
As part of our comprehensive services offered within Norwood Park, our clinic provides dedicated HPV testing and vaccination plans designed to safeguard your health against Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Our goal is to initiate awareness regarding this common infection which can lead to certain types of cancer like cervical cancer if left undetected and untreated over time.
Our clinic proudly offers top-notch colposcopy service aimed at efficiently detecting changes in the cervix before they turn into severe health problems like cancer. This simple procedure gives detailed images of your cervix so we could pinpoint areas impacted by abnormal cell growth; thus ensuring you receive timely intervention.
In an effort to maintain your overall feminine wellbeing, Womens Health Group Chicago offers cryotherapy – a quick and efficient method for treating abnormal tissue growth on the surface layer of the cervix. Our experienced doctors use freezing temperatures to destroy harmful cells while preserving healthy ones—providing relief without invasive procedures or long recovery times.
When abnormalities are detected during routine screenings or pap smears, we offer innovative solutions such as Loop Electro-surgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) at our facility here in Norwood Park. The LEEP technique assists with diagnosis as well as eradication of precancerous cervical abnormalities hence providing assurance that you’re getting not just cutting-edge care, but comprehensive and personalized treatment.
Here at Womens Health Group Chicago, providing care for women doesn’t end with initial diagnosis. We diligently schedule follow-up consultations after receiving abnormal Pap smear results. These systematic appointments allow us to fiesta any concerns that may arise post testing or procedure and facilitate for customized treatment plans designed to restore your health and ease of mind.

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.
