Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize your health. We offer Routine Cervical Screening services studded with the latest technology and guided by highly skilled practitioners to detect any signs or abnormalities in the cervix which might indicate cervical cancer. Recommended for all sexually active women, this preventive measure significantly lowers the risk and provides early detection of diseases, ensuring quicker treatment options.
Our professionals understand that protecting against Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is an essential step towards preserving every woman’s wellbeing in Northlake. By offering advanced HPV Testing, our clinic can detect strains of HPV that may lead to cervical cancer if left untreated. Moreover, we provide HPV vaccinations designed as a preemptive strike to prevent possible future infection.
Womens Health Group Chicago also offers comprehensive Colposcopy services—a follow-up procedure typically suggested after abnormal pap smear results. Our expert clinicians use a colposcope to closely examine your cervix, vulva, and vagina for signs of disease such as unexplained bleeding or unusual appearance of the cervix during routine exams.
Cryotherapy at Womens Health Group Chicago ensures abnormally cellular tissues are effectively treated through freezing techniques using liquid nitrogen or argon gas – leaving healthy cells undamaged while stopping growth of irregular cells originating from HPV infections. This non-surgical alternative aims at providing relief with minimal side effects.
The Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure or LEEP is another precise technique used in our clinic when there are serious changes found in cells around the cervix area post-pep-smear testing & colposcopy analysis. With proven effectiveness and low complication rates making it one of the most frequently recommended procedures focusing on eliminating cervical cell changes before they lead to cancer.
We wish to assure every woman in Northlake that having an abnormal pap smear doesn’t definitively indicate cancer. However, it’s critical to have follow-up consultations which we offer at Womens Health Group Chicago where our compassionate care team provides the necessary guidance and advice on subsequent steps ensuring each patient understands their results fully & receives comprehensive support throughout the process of further testing or treatment.

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.
