Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the importance of regular cervical screenings for preserving women’s health. These simple procedures are a powerful tool in detecting potential issues early when they’re most treatable. The routine cervical screening process involves taking a small sample of cells from your cervix, which will then be tested for abnormalities. Rest assured knowing that our team is composed of caring professionals who prioritize your comfort and confidentiality during these visits.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common yet potentially serious infection that can lead to certain types of cancer in women. We offer HPV testing as part of our commitment to comprehensive women’s healthcare services for residents in Clarendon Hills. As well as syndromic detection processes, protecting yourself against HPV through vaccination is highly recommended by our skilled practitioners at Womens Health Group Chicago.
If abnormal results have been detected during your pap smear or HPV test, do not worry – our experienced staff at Womens Health Group Chicago may suggest undergoing a colposcopy procedure. This detailed examination allows us to assess the cervix more closely whilst ensuring minimal discomfort for you throughout this non-invasive measure.
For precancerous conditions found on the cervix, cryotherapy might indeed be an effective treatment option offered by Womens Health Group Chicago, specifically targeting Clarendon Hills residents and beyond fractionally progressive stages of disease before it escalates further into cancerous states. An outpatient procedure involving extreme cold used to destroy abnormal tissue growth, cryotherapy greatly reduces prospects of advancing major health mishaps with unprecedented ease!

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.
