Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize your health and well-being. An essential component of a woman’s routine healthcare, cervical screening enables early detection of potential issues which may lead to cervical cancer if left unaddressed. Our experienced team of OBGYNs in Lansing provide personalized and attentive care throughout the procedure, ensuring you feel comfortable from start to finish.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is significantly linked with the development of various diseases including cervical cancer. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we offer comprehensive HPV testing – an important tool for enhancing early detection for at-risk individuals. We further safeguard your health by providing HPV vaccinations as part of our preventative medicine strategy targeting residents in Lansing.
Our dedicated professionals understand that dealing with abnormal test results can be worrying. To address these concerns effectively, we offer colposcopy services to closely examine your cervix, vagina and vulva for any signs of disease that could not be seen during a regular gynaecological examination. Trust us to deliver compassionate care when it comes to handling sensitive medical procedures such as Colposcopies.
Womens Health Group Chicago adopts innovative approaches when caring for women’s health in Lansing city-wide! Cryotherapy involves using extreme cold produced by liquid nitrogen or argon gas in removing abnormal tissue or cells detected during initial assessments like pap smear tests or colposcopies – minimising future health risks gracefully!
A LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure), offered also at our clinic serves a crucial role towards effective treatment plans for irregularities identified via Pap smears or other screenings like HPV Tests; particularly cutting away precancerous lesions on the cervix before they develop into full-blown cancer, thus enhancing the long-term health prospects for women.
At Womens Health Group Chicago, we believe in continuity of care all through your wellness journey. Our OBGYN specialists take time to review and discuss abnormal test results transparently with our patients before proposing a course of action. This could possibly include further investigations such as biopsies or advocating treatment options per individual case requirements. The entire objective being: prioritize early intervention while maintaining comfort, dignity and emotional support for patients at every step!

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.
