A simple and relatively painless procedure, a regular Pap smear test can enhance the overall wellness of females in Elk Grove Village by identifying precancerous cells early.
In addition to routine screenings, our healthcare practitioners provide HPV Testing and Vaccinations. Identifying Human papillomavirus (HPV) presence is crucial since this virus significantly increases cervical cancer risks. Vaccinations safeguard against the most prevalent high-risk HPV types ensuring your optimal health protection.
To further examine abnormal results from pap smears or HPV tests; Colposcopy services are also offered at our clinic. This diagnostic procedure utilizes colposcope to carefully inspect your cervix, vagina & vulva enabling precise detection of disease signs not visible by naked eye hence enhancing efficient management approach for residents in Elk Grove Village area.
For instances where HPV infections or other abnormalities have resulted in cell changes on your cervix but aren’t yet cancerous – we offer Cryotherapy service that serves as an effective treatment option. This non-surgical outpatient procedure uses very cold temperature in destroying these cells allowing healthy ones replacement & preventing escalation towards full-blown cancer.
If precancerous lesions were found post colposmonic examination suggesting severe dysplasia warranting immediate intervention – Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) stands out as an ideal solution available within our facility confines offering you best therapeutic chance possible irrespective of such potentially dire circumstances.

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.
