Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize your wellness and recognize the importance of regular health checks. Our Routine Cervical Screening service is designed to detect any potential issues early, allowing for timely intervention. We use advanced tools to provide comfortable cervical screenings in North Lawndale with the goal of reducing cervical cancer risks.
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is a major trigger for many gynecological complications, including cervical cancer. At our clinic, we offer cutting-edge HPV Testing and Vaccination services to ensure you are protected or adequately treated if already infected. Undergoing an HPV test can help identify strains of the virus that might result in cervical cancer while vaccination helps shield those not yet exposed.
When it comes to detecting abnormalities found during a routine pelvic exam or pap smear results, Colposcopy serves as one of the most effective methods available today. Offering this procedure at Womens Health Group Chicago ensures accurate diagnostic capabilities within the comfort of familiar surroundings right here in North Lawndale.
Cryotherapy involves using extreme cold produced by liquid nitrogen or argon gas to destroy abnormal tissues on the cervix. This less invasive method provides an excellent solution for women needing swift treatment with minimal downtime post-procedure. At Womens Health Group Chicago we’re proud to offer state-of-the-art Cryotherapy procedures conducted by qualified medical practitioners ensuring a safe experience overall.
Our healthcare specialists’ commitment extends beyond preventive measures like screenings into specialized treatment procedures where required – LEEP(Large Loop Excision of Transformation Zone) is one such method used when treating high-grade cell changes detected through prior testing steps like colposcopy & cryotherapy amongst others.
We understand the importance of monitoring patient health even after necessary treatments are implemented. Our dedicated healthcare team ensures a complete follow-up schedule is set up for patients with abnormal results, making certain that consistent oversight and care management are provided to enable long-term positive outcomes.

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.
