Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD- The importance of Gynecological Exams for Every Woman

Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD is a top gynecologist in NYC in practice for over 25 years, committed to providing individualized care to his patients and is the only medical personnel you will see on your visit from beginning to end.

The annual gynecological exam for a woman is much more than just a pap test and review of the results. In fact, that is only a small part of the exam performed by Dr. Goldstein. While checking the cervix for abnormalities is important, Dr. Goldstein believes that for menopausal women bone health, breast health, and vaginal health are of the utmost importance.

For women closer to menopause the uterus and ovaries should also be checked by non-invasive transvaginal ultrasounds to prevent issues like abnormal uterine bleeding, painful periods, pelvic pain, vaginitis, urinary tract issues and more from arising.

The key is prevention. For instance, pre-cancerous lesions should be detected early before they become advanced and require a hysterectomy. The goal is to prevent the development of lesions that cannot be easily taken care of in an office setting with something as simple as an outpatient laser treatment.

Dr. Goldstein still believes that patients should be cared for one patient at a time with their individual risk factors, personal history, and family history taken into account regardless of the medical situation under discussion.

He is also a Past Chairman of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, New York section, Past President American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine and is currently the Director of Gynecologic Ultrasound at NYU Langone Medical Center.
