Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize preventive care and the early detection of health conditions. This is why routine cervical screening, also known as Pap smear, is one of our crucial services. Whether you are experiencing symptoms or just in for your regular checkup, Our team passionately provides this test to check for any abnormalities that might indicate a potential risk for cancerous or precancerous developments. We understand the importance of regular screenings in detecting early-stage issues and ensuring your long-term health.
We offer Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) testing as part of our commitment to preventative healthcare. HPV infection is common; it has even been termed an epidemic because so many people unknowingly carry the virus. It’s especially harmful because it can result in conditions like genital warts and different types of cancers if left untreated. Therefore, at Women’s Health Group Chicago offers HPV testing as well as vaccination against high-risk strains to ensure maximum protection for women living in Pullman.
For residents of Pullman requiring advanced diagnostic methods after abnormal pap smear results or HPV tests, a Colposcopy could be recommended by our team at Womens Health Group Chicago. A colposcope allows magnified inspection of cells on the cervix identifying irregularities needing attention easily overlooked with basic examination tools.
As every woman’s body works uniquely so do we treat each individually at Womens Health Group Chicago by offering options tailored per patient needs like Cryotherapy; effectively treating abnormal cell growth identified during your colposcopy procedure preventing progression towards severe complications including invasive cervical cancer.
Upon identification through earlier stages if need arises we undertake LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) procedures eradicating dangerous cells potentially leading to cervical cancer. This minimally invasive procedure done under local anesthesia results in minimal discomfort boasting of solid success rates and reduced risk when conducted by the experienced team at our clinic.
At Womens Health Group Chicago, your journey doesn’t end after undergoing a medical procedure or receiving abnormal test results. We guarantee comprehensive post-procedure assistance via follow-up consultations where we monitor healing progress and ensure that any subsequent issues are timely addressed. Our focus isn’t just providing services; it’s about supporting each woman during every step towards better health ensuring peace-of-mind living in Pullman.

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.
