Skip to content Ensuring your health has remained a priority for Women’s Health Group Chicago. We offer Routine Cervical Screening, which is an essential part of women’s healthcare to detect any changes in the cervix that can potentially develop into cancer. Our team of experienced clinicians use modern techniques and equipment to provide reliable and comfortable screening procedures. Making this a regular part of your medical check-up can lead to early detection, prevention, and prompt treatment if necessary.
At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the profound impact HPV (Human Papillomavirus) has on women’s health across Oak Lawn area. This virus is closely linked with cervical cancer as well as other forms of cancers affecting intimate areas in both genders. For this reason, our clinic offers thorough HPV testing for early identification and vaccination services for preventative measures against different types of HPV strains.
Women’s Health Group Chicago also provides Colposcopy—a necessary diagnostic procedure used especially when abnormalities are detected from routine pap smear tests or HPV tests. In performing a colposcopy, meticulous examination under magnification allows us to identify problematic areas in your cervix more effectively than conventional methods.
Addressing abnormalities at their earliest stage represents one of our key service offerings. Cryotherapy is one technique we employ within our clinic where extreme cold conditions are utilized as a non-surgical method primarily designed either to treat abnormal tissues or remove them completely from the cervix hence reducing any risks associated with invasive options such foresight surgery itself.
Should you require further treatment due to persistent presence of abnormal cells or precancerous lesions upon examination results; reassuringly here at Women’s Health Group Chicago we offer LEEP procedures which involves using small electric wire loop to remove the abnormal cells or tissues within cervix. This treatment maintains a safe, less invasive yet effective approach ensuring that your overall health remains at the core of what we do.
Lastly but importantly, after any procedure in our clinic—from routine screenings to specific treatments—Women’s Health Group Chicago also provides Follow-up Consultations for abnormal results. Showing commitment toward your well-being throughout your journey with us, further check-ups and conversation with our doctors ensure comprehensive monitoring of your health status while offering personalized advice tailored according to individual needs maintaining necessary transparency thus making Womens Health Group Chicago truly women’s trusted healthcare partner across Oak Lawn region and beyond wherever you live.

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.
