Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we believe in the importance of prevention through regular check-ups. This is why we encourage all women to participate in routine cervical screenings commonly known as Pap smears. Detecting any abnormalities early significantly increases the chances for successful treatment and can prevent more severe health problems from developing. Our skilled team provides these highly effective tests with utmost care and professionalism ensuring your comfort throughout.
As firm advocates for comprehensive woman’s health management, our clinic offers HPV testing and vaccination services. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the root causes of cervical cancer which makes getting tested paramount to overall women’s health especially for those residing in Harvey. Additionally, receiving an HPV vaccine arms your immune system against the strains of viruses responsible for most cases of cervical cancer.
In instances where further examination is necessary after a Pap smear has revealed irregularities, we provide Colposcopy services at Womens Health Group Chicago. A colposcope allows us to examine an illuminated and magnified view of your cervix so that we can identify issues that might have been missed during regular screening procedures. Each procedure conducted within our clinic prioritizes patient safety while adhering strictly to best practice standards set by professional healthcare bodies around the world.
We strive to give every woman access to minimally invasive treatments like Cryotherapy. This approach uses extreme cold produced by liquid nitrogen or argon gas in treating abnormal tissues found on your cervix effectively reducing risk factors associated with progressive stages of certain diseases which could escalate into full-blown cancer condition over time․ Throughout this process, you’re ensured absolute dedicated attention from our compassionate team.
If high-grade precancerous cells are detected, Womens Health Group Chicago offers efficient LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) services. This treatment makes use of a thin loop wire to cut away abnormal cells from your cervix. As one of the most reliable providers serving women in Harvey, we consistently prioritize maximum comfort and patient safety during this outpatient procedure.
Fair diagnosis is not our only concern; it’s also vital that all patients thoroughly understand their health status and available treatments hence why after any significant diagnoses are made, we arrange follow up consultations for diagnostic clarification and further planning. We stand by our commitment to see every woman through each phase of her health journey until she reaches optimal wellness again.

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.
The Women’s Health Group stands as a testament to over 30 years of excellence, dedication, and innovation.
