Skip to content Women’s Health Group Chicago encourages women in Addison and the surrounding areas to include cervical screening in their regular health check schedule. Regular screenings play a crucial role in identifying any potential risks or issues early on, leading to better treatment outcomes. We utilize recent medical technology to perform these screenings smoothly with minimal discomfort.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) has been linked to numerous health complications for women including cervical cancer; hence our clinic offers advanced HPV testing services along with vaccination options. HPV testing is an essential diagnostic process that, coupled with routine cervical screening, maximizes preventive healthcare strategies for all our clients in Addison.
In case of any abnormal cell changes detected during your Routine Cervical Screening or HPV Test at Womens Health Group Chicago, a Colposcopy may be recommended. This simple procedure allows us to examine your cervix closely under magnification providing more detailed insights about your cervix and vaginal tissues enabling accurate diagnosis.
At Women’s Health Group Chicago we understand that detecting abnormalities can be concerning. That’s why we offer swift and effectual treatments like Cryotherapy. This technique employs freezing techniques to destroy pre-cancerous cells found within the cervix, reducing likelihoods of progressing into severe conditions such as cervical cancer.
If Cryotherapy proves unsuccessful or if pre-cancerous lesions persist, then Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) might be suggested as another treatment alternative available at our clinic for ladies residing in Addison area.. The LEEP procedure uses electric current passed through a thin wire loop which acts like a surgical knife removing precancerous or abnormal cells from your cervix effortlessly with reduced discomfort compared to traditional surgery.
Understanding that an abnormal result can induce stress and anxiety, Women’s Health Group Chicago ensures a comprehensive follow-up consultation plan. Our compassionate team of healthcare professionals will guide you through the subsequent steps while addressing your concerns or queries, ensuring that you’ll never feel alone on this path towards maintaining optimal health. We are committed to delivering satisfactory medical services to all women in Addison, emphasizing quality treatment partnering with effective communication.

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.
