Skip to content At the Womens Health Group Chicago, our dedicated team of women’s health professionals understand the importance of early detection. That is why we offer routine cervical screenings as one of our core services. Our process involves testing for abnormal cells in the cervix that could potentially lead to cancer if left unchecked. By maintaining a regular schedule with your routine cervical screening, you are investing not just in disease prevention but also in peace of mind.
We at Womens Health Group Chicago recognize HPV (Human Papillomavirus) as a leading cause behind many cases of cervical cancer and thus provide comprehensive HPV testing alongside vaccination services. Utilizing advanced laboratory equipment and latest medical technology, we aim to timely detect any high-risk strains increasing your potential risk while introducing protective vaccinations to significantly lower future risks.
In cases where pap smear tests return abnormal results or indications point towards cervical abnormalities on examination, Womens Health Group Chicago offers Colposcopy procedures for detailed examinations under closely monitored clinical conditions. Colposcopy can assist in identifying the level and area of infection by shining a light onto cervix after applying vinegar solution which makes any infected cells clearly visible.
Should initial results point towards risk factors requiring interventions beyond basic conservation techniques, cryotherapy treatments may be recommended at Womens Health Group Chicago depending on case-by-case assessments by expert clinicians. Cryotherapy uses a controlled freezing method allowing safe removal of precancerous cells from cervix thereby reducing chances for advance stage disease developments.
When it comes to dealing with high-grade pre-cancers or diagnosing causes behind irregular pap smear results effectively yet non-invasively, Womens Health Group Chicago provides specialized LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision procedure) treatment options. The procedure not only helps to remove abnormal cells preserving the healthy tissue but also allows these removed cells to be examined more thoroughly for malignant signatures.
In line with our commitment towards ensuring optimum patient recovery and health status monitoring, we at Womens Health Group Chicago carry out regular follow-up consultations post procedures or in cases where patients present with abnormal results from tests such as pap smear. We value each of our patients’ unique journey back to wellness by ensuring they have a dedicated medical professional keeping tabs on their progress and providing necessary support throughout recovery process.

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.
