Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize your health by offering routine cervical screenings — an essential part of every woman’s overall health and wellness. The cervical screening procedure is non-invasive, usually involving a simple Pap smear to check for abnormalities in the cervical cells that could potentially lead to cancer. Early detection is key in managing any potential risks, as it affords chances for early treatment and prevention.
We are strong advocates for proactive measures when dealing with women’s health issues here; hence we offer HPV testing and vaccination services. Our sophisticated technology brings ease to HPV testing procedures, enabling our professionals to make accurate diagnoses swiftly. In addition, providing vaccinations against various strains of HPV virus ensures your odds remain stacked in favor of protection rather than cure.
Colposcopy serves as a specialized diagnostic procedure performed following abnormal pap smear results at the Women’s Health Group Chicago clinic. It involves examining an illuminated, magnified view of the cervix and the tissues of the vagina and vulva. This relatively quick examination allows us to identify irregularities further while keeping you informed about your bodily condition along the way.
Our clinic offers cryotherapy as one method of treating precancerous or benign skin conditions that can occur due to changes detected during earlier tests such as pap smears or colposcopies. The process includes freezing abnormal cells using liquid nitrogen which safely destroys unwanted tissue without requiring surgery. We take pride in assuring you that this procedure is performed by experienced hands devoted towards ensuring comfort at all times.
Another approach undertaken by the Womens Health Group Chicago for clients displaying suspicious cell changes on their cervixes is recoomending LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure). LEEP is an effective and proven technique used to remove precancerous cells through a powerfully precise electrical current. Our highly skilled practitioners conduct this procedure under local anaesthesia, putting patient comfort first during provision.
At Womens Health Group Chicago, our commitment to your health doesn’t end at the diagnosis stage – we believe in providing comprehensive care that includes follow-up consultations for abnormal results. We understand how unnerving unexpected results can be. Thus, our health professionals stand ready to guide you through what these might imply while creating elaborate treatment plans tailored most appropriately for you.

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.
