Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we understand that prevention is better than cure. To safeguard the health of women in Grand Crossing and surrounding areas, our clinic offers comprehensive routine cervical screening services. These screenings include Pap smears for early detection of cellular abnormalities that may lead to cervical cancer if left untreated. Our experienced medical team skillfully conducts each test with strict attention to detail and patient comfort, ensuring accurate results and a pleasant experience.
As an additional line of defense against threats to your health, the Women’s Health Group Chicago also offers Human Papillomavirus (HPV) testing and vaccinations. This virus is well-known for its causative role in most instances of cervical cancer. Regular HPV tests can give you peace of mind or alert us to potential problems early enough for effective intervention. In addition, as protection is paramount when it comes to such a widespread virus like HPV, we provide appropriate vaccinations per CDC guidelines.
When regular screenings highlight anything unusual, Women’s Health Group Chicago has always been dedicated to taking immediate action – starting with specialized procedures like Colposcopy examinations. A colposcopy allows more detailed examination than traditional pap smears by using high definition optics; this aids our professionals in pinpointing problem areas accurately for further diagnosis and treatment planning.
Sometimes invasive therapies are not required for cases detected earlier on or less severe ones. Non-invasive techniques such as Cryotherapy have proven highly beneficial over time at Womens Health Group Chicago- It uses extreme cold temperature application onto abnormal cells thus destroying them from the root levels thereby minimizing recurrence chances remarkably paving way towards optimal recovery journey ahead.
For some patients showing screened abnormalities above certain grades – LEEP procedure becomes indispensable. Our clinic, in Grand Crossing performs Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) with proficient accuracy and care- It helps remove persistent abnormal cells layer without causing damage to surrounding healthy areas thereby promoting quick healing post-procedure while lowering any future risk implications.

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.
