Dale Yingling's Expert Contributions
Painful bump?
I recommend having that examined as soon as possible. It's difficult to diagnose at this point, but with your history of SLE, the area needs to be examined and possibly biopsied for a complete diagnosis. Hidradenitis suppurativa could be the condition and be difficult to treat, but antibiotics can be the first step and eventually may need to be removed. READ MORE

I am a virgin with trichomoniasis?
PID can be caused by bacteria not associated with STI. So, you should see a gynecologist to have a pelvic ultrasound and abdominal examination, followed by treatment to prevent scarring from adhesion of infection. Sometimes, other condoms can mimic PID, such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, GI conditions, etc. The first use to get you seen by a gynecologist familiar with minors, such as a CT pediatric gynecologist.

I'm having trouble getting pregnant?
Most patients will get pregnant in a years time. To increase your chances, an ovulation predictor kit will help the timing of intercourse. If you don't get pregnant in that 12 months time, you and your partner should see a fertility specialist for some basic test on the two of you. Good luck... Dr. Dale Yingling, FACOG READ MORE

Well, the best way the address infertility is to determine you cycle patterns and ovulation. So start as cycle calendar and pick up a urine ovulation kit. Record those for 3-6 months in a ledger. Then once you have determine your ovulation pattern, have intercourse during that week. Most patients that have regular cycles and ovulate will conceive. Try that first, 80% of those couples will get pregnant in a year. If after that time and no luck, see a reproductive endocrinologist for additional options for you. Good luck! Dr. Dale R. Yingling, FACOG READ MORE

Adenomyosis is a common condition that is like endometriosis, but involves the muscle layer of uterus. Bloating, painful menses, and heavy menstrual bleeding is usually found with this condition. There are a few treatments that you will need to discuss with your gynecologist. READ MORE
I'm pregnant, and I feel like I'm gaining a lot of weight. Is there anything I can do?
Dear soon to be mom, Weight gain is common, but excessive weight gain should be avoided due to the increased complications associated with obesity. A well-balanced diet, mild to moderate exercise, and plenty of water is so important for you and your baby. Try to eat more vegetables and fiber, which can give you a full feeling sooner on less calories. Increasing water intake can also decrease your hungry and is so important as your body builds the intravascular volume. Try to limit your sweets...maybe once a week, as a celebration for another week closer to meeting your little one. Pregnancy is a difficult time, but a little encouragement can go a long way. Good luck! READ MORE

Are painkillers safe to have for menstrual cramps?

Is it safe to have oral sex during pregnancy?
Yes, oral sex can be safe during pregnancy, with certain precautions. Fellacio and cunnilingus are methods using the tongue to stimulate the genitals, i.e., the penis or clitoris/vagina, respectively; both are safe. I caution not to have any contact if you or your partner has a "cold sore," which is most commonly the HSV 2 virus and can transmit this very serious (potentially deadly virus) to your child during birth. Also, other STIs (sexually transmitted infections) can be transmitted during oral sex and if there any lesions on the penis or vagina, have your healthcare provider examine the area. READ MORE
What could be the reason behind repeated ectopic pregnancies?
There can be several reasons for repeat ectopic pregnancies: previous tubal scars from infections, endometriosis, hydrosalpinx, to congenital malformation of the reproductive organs, just to name a few. I recommend seeing a gynecologist for a full evaluation, which would include imaging, cultures, laparoscopy and possibly a tubal ligation and pregnancy via IVF. It can be frustrating and expensive for couples to go through, but the pay off is a beautiful child by the two of you! Good luck, Dr. Dale R. Yingling, FACOG READ MORE

I am 6 months pregnant and I am suffering from a viral infection. Will the antibiotics have any impact on my baby?
Most antibiotics used in pregnancy are safe. Penicillin, amoxicillin, erythromycin, and cephalosporins are all safe. Stay away from doxycyclines or tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones. However, antibiotics are for bacterial infections, not for viral infections. There are antivirals used for influenza if started within 2 days of symptoms. I hope you feel better soon. READ MORE
