These are essential for early detection and prevention of cervical cancer. Our skilled team ensures the screening process is comfortable, respectful, and thorough. We’ll explain each step of the process clearly to ensure you’re well-informed about your health condition.
The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) poses a significant risk in the onset of cervical cancer. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we provide HPV testing as an important component in identifying this virus early on along with offering vaccinations designed to protect against high-risk HPV strains. Women from Homer Glen can trust us in providing effective detection methods, advice on reducing risks ,and preventive steps such as vaccination that may reduce their likelihood of developing HPV related complications.
Our clinic also offers a Colposcopy service – a detailed examination procedure used to study the cervix when test results present abnormalities or potential threats to your overall wellbeing. This procedure performed by our highly experienced OBGYN specialists in a patient-friendly environment helps diagnose any changes before they become serious issues further down the line.
Cryotherapy is another valuable service offered by Womens Health Group Chicago which involves using extremely cold temperature treatment for removing abnormal cells observed during colposcopy; thereby preventing them from evolving into cancerous cells. This non-invasive solution often preferred due to reduced recovery time showcases our commitment towards safe, effective treatments for all our clients across Homer Glen and beyond.
Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure or LEEP is yet another advanced method utilized by Womens Health Group Chicago aiming specifically at treating cell abnormalities identified during colposcopial examinations. The precision aided technique promotes minimal damage to tissue surrounding affected area while successfully treating the precancerous cells ensuring your health and peace of mind.
At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that the journey may not end with testing or a single procedure. We offer comprehensive follow-up consultations for abnormal results, ensuring personalized continuity in care including reviewing your treatment plan and addressing any concerns you may have. This illustrates our belief in maintaining open lines of communication with all clients from Homer Glen providing reassurance when it’s needed most.

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.
