Throughout your pregnancy, Dr Yoong will keep a close eye on your progress, share advice and answer your questions about your growing baby.

Cervical Cerclage

In rare cases, the cervix may shorten and open at the wrong stage of pregnancy, leading to extreme prematurity. This procedure can reinforce the cervix in this scenario.

High risk pregnancies

Dr Yoong works closely with patients who are experiencing gestational diabetes, hypertension and other medical disorders.

Miscarriage investigation

Having more three or more consecutive losses is referred to as recurrent miscarriage. Dr Yoong is able to recommend tests to investigate underlying causes of these losses and discuss the results with you to help decide your next steps to maximise the chance of success in the next pregnancy.

Multiple pregnancies

Pregnant with twins or triplets? Dr Yoong relies on his expert knowledge and experience to manage your care during this time.

Dilation & Curettage

In the event of a miscarriage, it may be recommended that you undergo a Dilation & Curettage (D&C). Dr Yoong is able to perform this procedure at short notice.

IVF pregnancies

While he is not an IVF specialist, Dr Yoong can work with you to investigate fertility issues before referring you to an IVF centre.
