With ever-increasing women’s health risks, routine cervical screening has never been more crucial. At the Women’s Health Group in Chicago, we prioritize your comfort and wellness above all else during these important screenings. Our expert team is proficiently trained to perform the Pap smear procedure swiftly yet thoroughly, resulting in comprehensive and reliable results that quickly identify any unusual or concerning physical alterations potentially indicating early signs of disease. Timely detection undoubtedly leads to greater chances for prevention & successful treatment.
Ignoring HPV can sometimes lead to severe complications such as cervical cancer among women; that’s where Women’s Health Group excels! We are equipped with cutting-edge technology which enables us to carry out precise HPV testing – an effective measure for detecting high-risk subtypes of HPV that most commonly contribute towards developing cervical malignancies. Alongside thorough testing, we offer comprehensive vaccination programs against specific strains of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) responsible for potential health threats with a goal centered on fortifying your defense system.
We understand how distressing abnormalities found in a Pap smear can be. As part of our exceptional service range, Womens Health Group offers excellent colposcopy services aimed at identifying issues not visible during typical pelvic exams. A colposcope provides magnified visualization allowing our practitioners detailed evaluation guaranteeing complete assessment accuracy leading to correct diagnosis & prompt initiation of treatment when necessary.
Enlarging our sphere beyond mere screenings & tests, we extend therapeutic procedures as well such as Cryotherapy–a trusted method used primarily for precancerous conditions needing immediate attention without significant invasion involved. Utilizing cold therapy aids removal of abnormal tissue surfaced by disease thereby reducing further exposure maintaining healthier standard overall. Our clinic ensures that this procedure is performed by professionals who have extensive experience leading to minimal post-treatment issues.
Women’s Health Group Chicago acknowledges the advancing healthcare practices & embraces the technology in creating better patient outcomes. We propose Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) as an effective way to eliminate abnormal cervical tissue which could otherwise lead towards severe scenarios if left unaddressed. This efficient, relatively non-invasive therapy potentially helps keep any possible complications – like fertility problems at bay thus assuring full-fledged wellbeing of women enjoying perturbed lives even after the treatment.
Our commitment extends beyond immediate treatments or interventions. Following a Pap smear test, there might be results characterized as unusual/abnormal; we ensure concise follow-ups providing you with requisite knowledge about potential risks and how they can be handled most effectively given your personal health scenario. A good understanding of one’s own health eschews anxieties making proactive decisions easier regarding further testing or procedures required alongside adopting healthier lifestyle choices.

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.
