Pelvic pain on one or both sides, irregular periods, abnormal hair growth, pain with inter course, a multitude of pelvic or systemic changes, or no symptoms at all.

Can be caused by multiple vaginal infections including yeast, bacterial vaginosis, trichomonis, chlamydia, or gonorrhea. It could be affected by diet or activity. You should see your gynecologist for testing and treatment. READ MORE
I am 8 months pregnant and had some spotting. Could this mean anything abnormal?
It could mean many abnormal things like infection, placenta previa, early labor or many others. It could also be normal spotting after intercourse or the cervix beginning to open slightly with the loss of the “mucus plug”. You should see your obstetrician for evaluation. READ MORE

Many factors are involved with weight loss. Age, height, metabolic rate to name a few. You should see your doctor for a complete evaluation of laboratory studies, diet and activity. Keeping a log of your diet, including beverages, and an activity log can be very helpful to your doctor in pinpointing problem areas can be very helpful. READ MORE
I missed my period by 1 week. I want to take a pregnancy test. When should I?
Urine pregnancy tests are typically accurate approximately 10 days after conception which normally occurs around day 14 of the cycle in women with regular, monthly cycles. An over the counter home pregnancy test is advisable now if you have normal cycles. READ MORE
What are the risks of high blood pressure in the sixth month of pregnancy?
She may have preeclampsia, which is a very serious complication of pregnancy and can result in seizures and may even be fatal to mother and/or baby. She needs to be evaluated immediately by an obstetrician. READ MORE
I have a burning, stinging, itchy feeling with my vagina
Probably yeast, but could be many things. I don’t know your history, but would try over the counter yeast medication. If not resolved completely within 24-48 hours you need to see your doctor. READ MORE
Does an abortion bring down the chances of future pregnancy?
An abortion is a minor procedure involving dilation of the cervix and evacuation of uterine contents. While there are possible complications associated with any surgical procedure, it is quite unlikely that one abortion will affect future fertility. You should use contraception to avoid further pregnancy until you are ready for a baby. READ MORE
Can Regesterone tablets cause weight gain?
Do you mean progesterone? Progesterone is widely used to cause the onset of a menstrual cycle and, typically, does not cause weight gain, but I don’t know your dosage or which regimen you are using. Not having regular cycles can be quite dangerous, leading to uterine cancer, infertility, and even death. Although skipping cycles seems minor to most patients, it is quite serious and should be treated. READ MORE
My breasts feel very sore and even hurt when touched. Why?
Breast tenderness is associated with production of progesterone by the ovaries after ovulation. It is very normal, but can be exacerbated by caffeine, chocolate and other dietary items. It may be reduced with daily vitamin E or oral contraceptives. READ MORE
My wife threw up after taking the plan B one step pill. What should we do?
She should take it again if it is less than 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. She may have absorbed enough to be effective, but maybe not. A home pregnancy test in 10- 14 days is in order. Regular contraception is also advisable if not contraindicated by a medical condition. READ MORE
Can taking Plan B for a while cause infertility?
Plan B will probably not cause permanent infertility, but is actually only meant for “emergency” use. It is composed of hormones like those in oral contraceptives. Why not take oral contraceptives which are as safe and far more reliable? READ MORE
What could be the reason behind repeated ectopic pregnancies?
Damage to fallopian tubes is the most likely cause. She should see her gynecologist for a work up of the issue. READ MORE

Does metformin increase my chances of getting pregnant?
Metformin may increase the chance of pregnancy in women with PCOS. PCOS may cause uterine cancer, infertility, and even death. Oral contraceptives prevent both pregnancy and the possible adverse events associated with PCOS. You should consider some kind of contraception if you are sexually active and not ready for pregnancy.
