Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we strongly advocate and provide routine cervical screening as a key preventive measure against cervical cancer. This simple yet vital procedure aids in the early detection of precancerous or abnormal cells on the cervix that could potentially develop into malignancies over time. Our experienced team ensures a comfortable environment for these tests, combining precision and compassion to ensure patient-centered care.
Human Papillomavirus is known as one of the significant causes of cervical cancer in women. We offer comprehensive HPV testing services to identify potential infections early on so effective treatments can be put into action swiftly if required. In addition to HPV testing, our clinic provides vaccinations against certain strains of HPV virus which are responsible for most cases of this form of cancer – an essential immunization step towards proactive health preservation.
For clients with abnormal pap smear results or suspected cervical issues, colposcopy is routinely recommended for further investigation. At Womens Health Group Chicago, our expert practitioners use advanced medical equipment and techniques during colposcopy – magnifying the view of your cervix to observe any visible irregularities or abnormal cell changes directly.
Cryotherapy is often performed when precancerous cells have been identified within your cervix area. Our clinic offers safe cryotherapy procedures where we leverage cold temperature technology to freeze off these problematic cell tissues thereby eliminating potential risks at an early stage such strategy marks a leap forward in gynecological wellness management
Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) might be suggested for instances where high-grade abnormalities are discovered through pap smear test results. Performed by our skilled providers here at Women’s Health Group Chicago, this minimally invasive treatment excises affected tissue using a thin electrified wire loop minimizing potential health risks posed by these abnormal cells.
After any procedure or test, we believe in continued care and support. If you have received abnormal results from your pap smear test, HPV tests or after receiving treatments like cryotherapy or LEEP, our clinic offers comprehensive follow-up consultations to closely monitor your condition and advice on the necessary next steps. Rest assured that with Womens Health Group Chicago, you are not alone in your journey towards better health.

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.
