Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we are deeply committed to offering comprehensive cervical health services designed to ensure your optimal well-being. A critical part of this commitment is our Routine Cervical Screening service. This screening involves a Pap smear procedure that enables us to detect any changes in the cervix which may signal the presence of precancerous conditions. Early detection simply translates into more effective and successful treatments that uphold your overall wellness.
Moreover, our skilled team provides HPV Testing and Vaccination as an essential component of preventive women’s healthcare. In line with our dedication towards strengthening the overall health status in Bensenville, we advocate for regular HPV testing since it helps identify high-risk types closely associated with genital cancers. Our vaccination program aims at protecting against most forms of HPV known to cause cervical cancer aiding in safeguarding you from potential risks.
Should your Pap tests or HPV results indicate abnormal cells on the cervix, worry not! Our Colposcopy Services come in handy. We offer detailed examination utilizing state-of-the-art colposcope, giving clearer views of the cervix hence allowing accurate diagnoses possible abnormalities early enough before they become significant complications when left unchecked.
Another crucial aspect of our care system is Cryotherapy Treatment – an effective way of managing abnormal cellular changes on your cervix by freezing off affected tissues while preserving healthy ones around them. Carried out by our highly qualified staff using ultra-modern equipment, cryotherapy promotes healthier tissue growth hence negating risks related to untreated cell anomalies.
When further treatment beyond routine screenings becomes necessary due to more advanced abnormalities being detected through colposcopy; rest assured as our proficient Epithelial Procedures (LEEP) comes to your rescue. This minimally invasive, outpatient procedure enables us to carefully remove the abnormal cells, hence minimizing risks associated with conditions such as cervical cancer.
At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we believe effective healthcare is a journey that doesn’t end after screenings or procedures. We’re committed to providing ongoing support via our Follow-Up Consultations for Abnormal Results service where our team monitors your progress and ensures appropriate additional care if necessary. Coming in the wake of Pap Smear tests or other procedures; these consultations put you at ease while ensuring positive outcomes are achieved.

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.
