Skip to content The Women’s Health Group Chicago is dedicated to supporting the health and well-being of all women in Lincolnwood, realizing how vital it is for them to feel safe and secure when discussing their sexual health. As part of our commitment to comprehensive healthcare, we offer elaborate STD screenings necessary for an accurate diagnosis. Our screenings include thorough testing for commonly known and less frequently encountered sexually transmitted diseases; this ensures that patients can get the most appropriate care suitable for their specific needs.
Time means everything when dealing with certain medical situations. Acknowledging this, the Women’s Health Group Chicago provides rapid testing services for common STDs – allowing our Lincolnwood patients quicker access to results, as well as peace of mind. Swift test results not only lessen anxiety but also facilitate prompt treatment if needed, which significantly enhances treatment outcomes.
At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we understand how emotionally stressful a positive diagnosis can be. That’s why our team works diligently to provide expert treatment and management plans tailored specifically to your condition. Offering complete support during the entire process including initiation of therapy promptly after diagnosis or results confirmation helps prevent further complications or transmission. We stand by you — ensuring efficient disease management at every step.
STDs are serious health issues affecting both individuals in a relationship—so it’s crucial that partners are notified promptly upon detection in one partner. In line with this understanding, we carry out confidentially tactful partner notification and coordinate subsequent testing procedures as required under structured guidance from experienced professionals within the comfort zone of our clinic environment.
In addition to screening tests and treatments, at Women’s Health Group Chicago we work tirelessly towards preventing infections through vaccination efforts too. Our range of available vaccines is designed to cover the most prevalent STDs—offering a proactive option for women in Lincolnwood seeking protection. Our team ensures that you understand how these vaccinations work and which ones are recommended based on your unique health profile.
We believe prevention is always better than cure, which drives our focus on preventive education and counseling sessions. Apart from conducting regular tests and administering treatments or vaccinations, we offer thorough guidance to our patients about safe practices, risk mitigation strategies, lifestyle changes, etc., all tailored according to individual needs. This initiative aims at fostering empowerment among Lincolnwood women regarding their sexual health decisions while minimizing potential risks.

An STD, or sexually transmitted disease, is an infection that is passed from one person to another through sexual contact. STDs can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites.
The most common STDs include:
STDs can be transmitted through vaginal sex, anal sex, and oral sex. They can also be transmitted through sharing needles or other drug paraphernalia.
The symptoms of STDs can vary depending on the type of infection. Some STDs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, may not cause any symptoms at all. Other STDs, such as herpes and syphilis, can cause painful sores or blisters.
The best way to prevent STDs is to abstain from sexual contact. However, if you do choose to have sex, there are a number of things you can do to reduce your risk of getting an STD, such as:
Most STDs can be treated with antibiotics. However, some STDs, such as HIV and herpes, are incurable.
If left untreated, STDs can lead to serious complications, such as infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, and cancer.
