Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize the importance of routine cervical screenings in maintaining optimal women’s health. Our experienced medical team understands that early detection can make all the difference when it comes to conditions like cervical cancer. With our comprehensive and thorough routine cervical screening service, you can feel confident about understanding your body and its well-being. Regular screenings are essential as they monitor any changes happening in the cervix that might denote a risk factor. Rest assured, at Womens Health Group Chicago, your health is our ultimate priority.
In addition to regular screening services, we offer HPV testing and vaccination as part of our preventive healthcare measures against various common diseases linked with this virus—specifically certain types of cancers including cervical cancer. High-risk strains of HPV have been directly linked to these conditions; therefore taking proactive actions through testing and vaccination become crucial steps towards maintaining a healthy life in South Chicago.
If your pap smear results show an abnormality or if there is evidence suggesting high risk for developing cervical dysplasia or carcinoma in situ (CIS), perform Colposcopy examinations for further analysis by magnifying the images from cervix using a colposcope. This investigative procedure allows us to precisely detect any unusual cells which may need further attention; ensuring peace of mind regardless of what may come after initial Pap smear tests.
For some patients following an abnormal Pap smear result or Colposcopy exam, Cryotherapy treatment might be recommended by doctors at Womens Health Group Chicago. This non-invasive method involves freezing off abnormal tissue on the cervix utilizing extremely low temperatures—a relatively quick process typically performed right within clinics’ comfort equipped only with highly advanced tools complemented by qualified professionals committed to making whole process as humidity-free possible
In cases where abnormal cells are detected and present a risk of developing into cervical cancer, our clinic offers the Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP). This is an effective means for removing such cells by using a thin loop wire that sends low-voltage electrical currents. A Leep procedure is highly regarded as both safe and minimally invasive yet remarkably precise in acting only on impacted areas.
At Womens Health Group Chicago, we know how daunting it can be to face abnormal result from your cervical screening test . That’s why our dedicated team is here to ensure smooth follow-ups; helping understand what these results mean as well possible next steps supported by one-on-one consultations. Collaborating with us ensures expert care from understanding diagnosis right through treatment process making this journey less intimidating more focused towards positive health outcomes.

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.
