Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the value of prevention for overall health. Routine cervical screening is crucial for early detection of possible anomalies that could potentially evolve into more serious conditions like cervical cancer. We are equipped with state-of-the-art laboratory facilities to execute this preventive measure timely and accurately.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection can lead to severe health complications including lesions and cancers. Therefore, ensuring prompt detection and vaccination against HPV is paramount in our clinic’s mission towards safeguarding women’s health in Glen Ellyn. Our team will guide you through what to expect during the testing process and counsel on the importance of receiving necessary vaccinations.
Our dedicated staff at Women’s Health Group Chicago proudly offers cryotherapy as an advanced treatment option for precancerous tissue growths identified during routine check-ups or other screenings such as Pap smears. This non-surgical procedure uses freezing technology to safely neutralize abnormal cell activity.
We provide high-level colposcopy services offering patients a thorough examination of their cervix, vulva, and vagina using a special magnifying device designed to spot any abnormalities not visible during regular check-ups. Our skilled healthcare personnel ensure utmost comfort throughout the procedure while rendering efficient detections so no stone goes unturned with your personal care.
The Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) plays an integral role when it comes to treating precancerous cells found within the cervix caught by pap smear or noted changes from a colposcopy exam. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we highly prioritize adopting innovative techniques like LEEP where precision creates best results minimizing risks involved in invasive methods.
Receiving abnormal test results can be overwhelming.

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.
