Skip to content At the Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that your health deserves vigilant attention and care. One of our key services is Routine Cervical Screening, commonly known as a Pap Smear test. This routine checkup plays an essential role in preventing cervical cancer by detecting cell changes in the cervix before they can develop into cancer. Our experts are incredibly skillful and provide thorough screenings with prompt results to help you stay on top of your health.
To further enhance our commitment towards preventive healthcare, we offer HPV Testing and Vaccination for women living in Berwyn and surrounding areas. The HPV test checks for high-risk Human Papillomavirus types that often cause cervical cancers while vaccination helps protect against these types of viruses effectively reducing the risk borne by the females. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize patient education about their health condition so you can make an informed decision confidently.
We use state-of-the-art medical technology for diagnosing abnormalities observed during routine cervical screening or persistent HPV infection. Colposcopy aids us in examining any irregularities closely which makes early diagnosis possible, thus prevents progression into severe disease or complication. We ensure a comfortable environment because caring for your mental peace is just as important to us as treating any physical conditions.
For precancerous lesions discovered through colposcopy or pap smear tests at our clinic here at Womens Health Group Chicago, Cryotherapy serves as one effective treatment option available to women from Berwyn and neighboring cities. This non-invasive procedure involves freezing affected tissues to stimulate healthy cell growth thereby shedding off abnormal cells over time minimizing potential risks without extensive surgery.
In cases where preventative measures need backup with curative procedures like Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP), we extend our services to include this as well. LEEP is used for the treatment of high grade cervical dysplasia, a precancerous lesion. It has high efficiency and low recurrence rates making it one of the most preferred treatments at Womens Health Group Chicago.
In case your test results were abnormal, fear not, because here at Womens Health Group Chicago, we have a comprehensive follow-up consultation process to help you navigate future steps confidently. We provide appropriate medical guidance, reassurance and options for further investigative tests or treatments based on your individual situation maintaining total transparency through each step. Your health journey doesn’t end with an appointment; instead it continues with our unwavering support.

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.
