Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, our utmost priority is to ensure that the women of Golf are provided with comprehensive healthcare services. Among these crucial offerings is routine cervical screening. Regular Pap smears play an essential role in detecting any precancerous conditions early on, which leads to prompt treatment and increases chances for a successful cure. We encourage women in our community to make Pap smear tests part of their regular health check-up routine, utilizing this effective preventive measure against cervical cancer.
Closely tied to Routine Cervical Screening is HPV testing – another vital service we offer at Womens Health Group Chicago for the benefit of all females in Golf. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is linked with the majority of cases of cervical cancer; therefore it’s key that every woman undergoes testing as recommended by her doctor. Alongside our top-grade diagnostic facilities we also provide vaccinations targeted at high-risk strains of HPV – contributing significantly towards reducing risk levels associated with cervical cancer.
A dedicated service line within Womens Health Group Chicago entails colposcopies – a procedure used when results from your pap smear suggest there may be abnormal cells on your cervix or if you have tested positive for HPV infection. Serving Golf populace with state-of-the-art medical technology ensures accurate diagnosis along with provision of complete guidance throughout each step – making sure you’re comfortable & informed during the entire process
Beyond standard diagnostics, Women’s Health Group Chicago extends its clinical competencies into specific therapeutic avenues such as Cryotherapy for female patients hailing from various parts across Golf. Known as a highly effective treatment option following abnormal Pap test results where benign or pre-cancerous conditions were detected; cryotherapy freezes off affected tissues minimizing potential risks while maximising healing outlook.
In some cases the Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure, commonly known as LEEP, may be called for. This procedure is frequently utilized following abnormal Pap smears or Colposcopies and involves removal of predisposing tissue from the cervix using a thin wire loop that carries an electric current. At Women’s Health Group Chicago we perform this under expert guidance in order to prevent future occurrence of cervical cancer- making us Golf women’s first choice for comprehensive women’s healthcare services.
A cornerstone tenet of our professional philosophy at Womens Health Group Chicago remains unrivalled attention to patient aftercare. We provide detailed follow-up consultations for all patients with abnormal results; whether these were detected during pap smear screenings, HPV tests, colposcopy confirmations etc., within the safe confines of our clinic- ensuring each woman can conveniently navigate her health trajectory while engaging with top-rated medical practitioners right here in Golf.

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.
