Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we are unrelenting in our commitment to the health of our patients. We understand that routine cervical screening is not just a necessity but an act of self-love and precaution for every woman. A thorough check on your cervix can help detect any anomalies and indicator signs at the earliest stages. Our expert OBGYN team uses state-of-the-art equipment for seamless procedures while ensuring patient privacy and comfort, making us one of the foremost destinations in Cornell for this crucial service.
Our comprehensive services also include HPV testing – an essential step towards winning the battle against Human Papillomavirus infections that can lead to grave diseases like cervical cancer if left unchecked. Furthermore, we offer vaccination services as prevention is always better than cure—making sure you are safe from these strains by providing complete protection with approved vaccines available only at credible centers like ours.
Spotting abnormalities isn’t enough; understanding their gravity becomes equally important. At Womens Health Group Chicago, highly skilled experts perform colposcopies to get a clear view of abnormal areas found during pap smears or HPV tests to recommend an effective course of action precisely.
For cases requiring immediate attention, we offer treatments such as Cryotherapy- a procedure where abnormal cells are frozen off using extreme cold produced by liquid nitrogen. Another specialized treatment includes Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) which helps remove precancerous cells from your cervix before they become malignant – all right here in Cornell.
We believe that follow-ups play a vital role in monitoring women’s health levels after undergoing these tests or treatments. Should any diagnosis shows abnormal results, our team pulls together to create a personalized treatment plan for you. After any intervention, be it cryotherapy or LEEP procedure, we schedule continuous consultations to ensure your health is on the right track.
At Womens Health Group Chicago, your care journey does not end with procedures but continues hand in hand till complete recovery and beyond as we walk towards achieving optimum health levels for all women in Cornell.

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.
