Dr Steven R. Goldstein MD- Gynecologist in New York for Perimenopause

Dr Steven R. Goldstein MD is an expert Gynecologist in New York and is also one of the most highly recognized and regarded individuals for Perimenopause, the phase before women hit menopause. 

Twenty years ago Dr Goldstein wrote a book entitled, "Could It Be Perimenopause." It was mainly observations that he had made on a large number of perimenopausal women who had been referred for a study on the irregular bleeding that can occur during perimenopause. 

Dr Goldstein states that in many respects, perimenopause is the mirror image of adolescence. Adolescence is the coming onto the reproductive years. It is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles and emotional mood swings, acne, etc. 

In perimenopause, the sporadic ovulation and then lack of ovulation can also cause menstrual irregularities (be they cycles that are closer together or more spaced out) as well as a large number of the psychosocial symptoms such as mood swings, memory changes, sleep disturbances, free floating anxiety, inability to concentrate, etc. 

Many of these symptoms are tied in to fluctuating levels of unopposed estrogen (as opposed to the absent estrogen of true menopause). However, this is truly the transition from the reproductive stage to the non-reproductive stage and the medical term that Dr Goldstein has used for the last twenty years is "perimenopause." 

Many of Dr Goldstein’s patients have experienced this transition. Dr Goldstein, a top Gynecologist in New York, continues to guide his patients through this transition with as little disruption to their lives as possible utilizing the knowledge that we now possess about perimenopause.
