  • Vaginal bleeding with a foul smell?

    You need to see an ob/gyn as soon as you can. You need an exam. Doug Young, MD READ MORE

  • Pregnancy concern?

    Thanks for your question. So, a woman not on birth control can get one to two abnormal cycles a year. you can skip one or have an extra one. The best way to see would be a blood pregnancy test. However, you should not be on the Lisinopril with trying to get pregnant. That has to be switched to something else right away. Doug Young, MD READ MORE

  • Am I pregnant?

    You could be getting ready to start your cycle. You could be early pregnant. You could do a pregnancy test at home to be able to tell if you are or not. You could just be constipated. Doug Young, MD READ MORE

  • Prolong period?

    You need to follow up with your OBGYN that gave you the medroxy progesterone. You need to usually take it longer than that for 10 days and it should slow your bleeding. Doug Young, MD READ MORE

  • Fertility after Desmond cyst removal?

    That will not affect your fertility at all. You will still be able to conceive. I cannot speak the the right ovary and the amount removed. That judgement is made at the time of surgery. A dermoid cyst can take up the whole ovary sometimes. If there is any residual ovary, you could ovulate from that side Doug Young, MD READ MORE

  • Discharge after unprotected sex?

    It could be BV, start of an STD, or irritation. You need to be seen by an ob/gyn. You need to start using condoms as well. Doug Young, MD READ MORE

  • How many hours should a pregnant woman sleep?

    Usually 7-10 hours per day. Doug Young, MD READ MORE

  • About pregnancy?

    I would buy and perform a urine pregnancy test. Cycles can be up to a week late and you still would not be pregnant. Women not on birth control will have one to two abnormal cycles a year whether you skip one or get an extra. READ MORE

  • Should I still take a pregnancy test if I got my period?

    If the cycle was lighter, yes, you could take a pregnancy test. If the flow is typical, then no need for a pregnancy test. Doug Young, MD READ MORE

  • What causes a pregnant woman to bleed?

    There can be several reasons bleeding can occur in pregnancy. Vaginal infection, trauma (from intercourse), low lying placenta, possible miscarriage, cervical shortening. Obviously, some of these are more of an issue than others. 50 percent of pregnancies in the first trimester will get some sort of bleeding and still be normal. Doug Young, MD READ MORE

  • Early Miscarriage or Late Period?

    Most women will have 1-2 abnormal cycles per year, whether they skip a cycle or have an extra cycle. This could be that scenario or you likely had a miscarriage. The only way to tell was to do a blood pregnancy test around that time of the missed cycle. Doug Young, MD READ MORE

    Dr. Young is a great doctor that cares for his patients! From my own experience if u have a concern he will get back to u, he called my house to make sure I was going to the hospital BC I didnt answer my cell phone. He goes out of his way to check on his patients! He delivered my son and was great! He explains things and tells you what he is doing and talks you through it. He is a very busy doctor so if u have a Lil bit of a wait time its BC he's very busy or just added a person to his already busy schedule! I went for an ultrasound and the woman talked nothing but good about Dr young, how he would still see u if u were late, adds patients to his schedule for the day even if he's booked he has the love and passion that a job like this needs! Congratulations Dr young you deserve it!

    Dr. Young is such an amazing doctor! He delivered all of my children and has done my routine exams for the past 10 years. He goes above and beyond, is compassionate, attentive, and takes the time to address/thoroughly explain any concerns. I cannot imagine going to anyone else!
