Skip to content Prioritizing the well-being of women in Broadview, Womens Health Group Chicago provides meticulous Routine Cervical Screenings as a crucial component of our healthcare services. Regular cervical screenings are vital in early detection and prevention of cervical cancer. Known commonly as Pap smear tests, these screenings have been instrumental in reducing the number of cervical cancer cases and associated mortality rates significantly over the past years. We encourage every woman to undergo regular screening as it greatly enhances the chances for successful treatment if precancerous changes are detected.
At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that maintaining your health entails comprehensive care. Beyond routine testing, we provide HPV testing and vaccination services specifically aimed at tackling Human Papillomavirus (HPV). This virus is particularly nefarious for its role as a major cause of numerous genital-related conditions including cervical cancers. Our expert practitioners will guide you through this safe, simple procedure which aids your body in building immunity against certain types of HPV strains known to cause such diseases.
Our clinic further specializes in colposcopy procedures designed to closely examine an illuminated magnified view of the cervix after abnormal findings from pap smear results or HPV test. From our location catering to Broadview’s female community, our skilled health professionals conduct this important follow-up service with utmost dedication towards providing optimum patient care by ensuring accurate diagnosis followed by efficient treatment plans.
Addressing your diverse healthcare needs under one roof, Womens Health Group Chicago Office also offers cryotherapy procedures for women diagnosed with abnormal cells found during a pap smear or colposcopy process. Cryotherapy uses extremely cold temperature applied directly on affected tissues leading their destruction thereby preventing any potential progression into full-blown cancerous growths.
For certain instances of abnormal cells, Womens Health Group Chicago recommends the often-effective Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP). This safe and efficient procedure uses a thin, low-voltage electrified wire loop to remove the affected cervical tissue. Our highly-skilled practitioners perform this minimally invasive procedure with your comfort and well-being heavily prioritized.
Ensuring patient care doesn’t end after diagnosis or treatment, we also provide thorough follow-up consultations in cases where tests yield abnormal results. During these appointments particular focus will be shed on explaining in detail about findings and options going forward including treatment plans if necessary. At the Womens Health Group Chicago, we believe that follow-ups are essential to complete healthcare provision as they present invaluable opportunities to monitor progress post-procedure while ensuring continued overall health. Our highly experienced team stands ready to support you through every step of your health journey in our dedicated clinic serving Broadview women’s 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.
