Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is one common cause of abnormal cell growth on the cervix that can lead to cervical cancer. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we offer comprehensive HPV Testing and Vaccination as a decisive step towards preventing this virus. The testing helps diagnose high-risk strains of HPV while vaccination protects you from its most harmful forms.
A Colposcopy procedure might be recommended after an abnormal Pap Smear result or positive HPV test. At Womens Health Group Chicago, this painless examination gives us detailed images of your cervix which aids further evaluation and possible treatment plans if needed. Regardless you’re located within Gage Park or outside its confines; our skilled physicians are dedicated to carrying out thorough colposcopies ensuring utmost care and precision.
Cryotherapy involves freezing off abnormal cells found during routine screenings or even small precancerous lesions with the use of extreme cold—perfectly safe when done by professionals like ours at the Womens Health Group Chicago clinic where superior patient care is our priority no matter whether you hail from Gage Park or elsewhere around Chicagoland.
One way we remediate detected systems is through Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP). It’s used to excise abnormal cells detected during the screening process. At Womens Health Group Chicago, our skilled doctors are vastly experienced in performing LEEP procedures with absolute precision and minimal discomfort.
In case an abnormal result does surface from any of these services, Womens Health Group Chicago is here to provide follow-up consultations ensuring continuity of care.

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.
