Our Women’s Health Clinic does not only support early diagnosis via HPV testing but also promotes preventive measures like vaccination against HPV induced diseases among women of all age groups within Western Springs.
We believe in providing comprehensive healthcare at Womens Health Group Chicago,which is why we offer specialized Colposcopy services. If abnormalities are found during your routine screening, a closer examination using a colposcope is conducted by one of our OBGYN experts. This procedure gives our providers an enlarged view allowing them to better analyze tissue from the cervix, vagina,or vulva.
If precancerous cells are identified through prior tests and procedures,Cryotherapy comes in as an effective treatment option offered at our clinic.A quick and minimally invasive technique deployed by us here at Western Springs involves freezing abnormal tissues on the cervix leading most often to complete recovery.
In some cases where further treatment becomes necessary after Cryotherapy,the Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) might be recommended.Our skilled physicians use this approach as another mode for eliminationof potentially cancerous cells detected during previous screenings thereby ensuring utmost safety for women living around Western Springs.
Finally, after any of the cervical procedures,you may have follow-up appointments to discuss results and plan further care when necessary. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we thrive on building strong patient relationships based on trust.Ultimately, it is our commitment to continuous communication that truly elevates our effectiveness throughout Western Springs community thus reflecting in our superior-quality yet approachable healthcare services.

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.
