Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we strongly advocate for the power of preventative medicine. A key service that we offer is Routine Cervical Screening, better known as Pap Smear, an effective method for early detection of cervical cancer. Our experienced, compassionate healthcare professionals ensure comfort and confidentiality during these screenings. With each routine check-up provided in Elk Grove, our mission is to secure your health by identifying any irregularities well before they transform into major concerns.
Our dedication towards women’s health also includes comprehensive HPV testing and vaccination services in Elk Grove. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus responsible for numerous ailments including cervical cancer. It also therefor plays a significant role in our preventive care measures under which HPV tests are conducted along with pap smear in appropriate age groups or when required based on initial test results; while the vaccine — administered to both girls and boys — aids significantly in preventing the onset of future HPV-related diseases.
Women’s Health Group Chicago offers Colposcopy – a detailed examination technique aiding further investigation after abnormal results from routine screenings like pap smears. Our specialists stationed at Elk Grove employ this non-invasive procedure to examine the cervix more thoroughly using high-magnification equipment called colposcope so no cell discrepancies escape their eye undetected ensuring accurate diagnosis followed by precise treatment planning.
In instances where precancerous cells are identified during examinations or if benign conditions like warts caused due to STDs are detected we provide Cryotherapy services at our Elk Grove location as an efficient resolution method. This quick outpatient procedure involves freezing suspicious tissues on cervix effectively destroying them thus preventing progression towards more serious complications.
We’re committed to using the most advanced procedures available, and our clinic is proud to offer LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) for patients in Elk Grove needing further treatment. This minimally invasive procedure uses a thin wire loop heated by electric current to gently extract abnormal tissues or cells from cervix which then are further analyzed helping devise targeted treatments.
When faced with an unexpected result, Women’s Health Group Chicago ensures you’re supported every step of your health journey. Our patient-centric approach guarantees you do not have to face worries alone – be it understanding test results, discussing various treatment options or simply providing emotional support; we strive to make your follow up consultations as comprehensive and reassuring as possible right here at our facility in Elk Grove.

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.
