Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize routine cervical screenings as part of our essential health services. Timely screenings can help identify any potential abnormalities or changes in the cervix that might indicate various forms of disease, including cancer. Our fully trained and highly proficient team uses state-of-the-art equipment to ensure accurate results and create a comfortable experience for every patient.
The trusted professional team at Womens Health Group Chicago is also specialised in HPV testing and vaccination. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections which could lead to cervical cancer if left unchecked. With our advanced HPV testing strategies, we can detect early signs much before they progress into serious health conditions. We also provide comprehensive information on HPV vaccinations for prevention.
Should you receive abnormal results from your initial screening, rest assured that at Womens Health Group Chicago, we offer colposcopy procedures as a follow-up test due to its proven ability to visualize high-resolution images of the cervix with accuracy. This nonsurgical procedure allows us to examine an illuminated magnified view of the cervix and tissues so any irregularities can be promptly addressed.
In addition to regular check-ups and tests, Womens Health Group Chicago provides cryotherapy treatments for women who face certain gynaecological conditions such as cervical dysplasia caused by HPV infection or abnormal cells spotted during a Pap smear. Cryotherapy involves freezing off abnormal tissue on the cervix leading to minimal discomfort while maintaining maximum effectiveness.
Within our broad range of specialized services offered by qualified specialists at Womens Health Group Chicago include LEEP Procedures designed precisely for removing areas containing abnormal cells helping prevent them turning into cancerous cells over time with high success rates. We understand the importance of precise procedures and offer LEEP as a safe solution for those requiring treatment beyond routine care.
An integral part of our comprehensive care model at Womens Health Group Chicago includes personalized follow-up consultations should you receive abnormal test results. Our experienced health practitioners and medical consultants will explain these results in clear terms, discuss future steps, answer any questions or worries you may have and diligently guide you through your chosen path forward, always prioritizing your health outcome and peace-of-mind.

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.
