Many female patients have a medical complaint of fibroids and associated pain. Fibroids are common and vary in size and location so clinical management and recommendations depend on many variables. The list of possible conditions depends on the location and appearance of the uterine mass, thus it needs to be monitored by gynecologic ultrasounds.

Follow up gynecologic ultrasounds showing aggressive growth, particularly in a post-menopausal patient, would suggest a malignancy (cancer).

Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD - Best Obgyn in NYC

Dr Steven R. Goldstein MD is the Best Obgyn in NYC to see for menorrhagia (heavy bleeding). For over 25 years, Dr Goldstein MD has seen many patients with medical complaints related to heavy bleeding (menorrhagia). There are many normal and abnormal situations which may result in heavy menstrual bleeding. 

For instance women with many children will see growth of the size of their uterus, which increases the surface area of the uterine lining. In this case bleeding may be heavy without there being any abnormality.

There is also a condition known as adenomyosis (endometriosis of the uterus or myometrium) which may result in heavy menstrual bleeding at certain times. Historically, heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) and painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea) are the major symptoms of adenomyosis. This condition is benign.

Fibroids are also known to cause heavy bleeding at the proper time due to growth of the uterine cavity such that there is more surface area and heavy menstrual bleeding at the proper time.

The presence of uterine polyps in synchrony with the normal menstrual cycle can result in heavy menstrual bleeding at the appropriate time.

As one of the Best Obgyns in NYC and an internationally renowned expert in Gynecologic Ultrasounds, Dr Goldstein uses painless, non-invasive procedures such as Transvaginal Ultrasounds and Sonohysterography to examine and diagnose patients with heavy bleeding. These procedures produce high resolution, clear of the uterus, uterine lining, the wall of the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries which are used to make an accurate diagnosis.

Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD - Gynecologist in NYC

Dr. Steven R Goldstein MD, an expert Gynecologist in NYC is a Certified Menopause Practitioner, Past President of the North American Menopause Society and Co-Directory of Bone Densitometry and Body Composition, NYU Langone Medical Center. Dr Goldstein has been in private practice for over 25 years and consults with patients going through Menopause. 

During menopause, women may suffer bone loss. As a Certified Menopause Practictioner and a Certified Clinical Densitometrist (bone health professional), Dr Goldstein has this to say about menopausal women:

What patients should be concerned about is bone health. Nationwide, if one suffers a hip fracture, the statistics show that 25% of women will not live independently again and 30% of women will be dead within a year (some short term from pulmonary embolism or pneumonia, others, long term, simply failure to thrive). Admittedly, many of my patients who are in better physical shape with less comorbidities (that’s “medicalese” for other medical conditions) might not suffer such extreme numbers as those just quoted, but a fall with hip fracture later in life can be much more debilitating and, perhaps, even fatal.

As a leading Gynecologist in NYC, Dr Goldstein consults with women approaching or who are menopausal to address their bone health.

Dr Steven R. Goldstein MC is also the Director of Gynecologic Ultrasound at NYU Langone Medical Center, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at New York University School of medicine, and a Past President of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine.
