Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD- Menopause Doctor in NYC

Doctor Steven R. Goldstein MD is a Menopause Doctor in NYC, and a top NYC Gyn. Dr Goldstein is regarded as one of the nation’s top doctors in Gynecology and is one of the most highly recognized individuals in the field of Gynecologic Ultrasound. He is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at New York University School of Medicine, Director of Gynecologic Ultrasound at New York University Medical Center, a Certified Menopause Practitioner and President of the International Menopause Society. 

As a menopause doctor in NYC, one of the conditions that Dr Goldstein frequently encounters in his patients is Menopause Bleeding. 

In menopausal women the ovaries are no longer functioning and there is no production of estrogen or progesterone. Thus there is no stimulation of the endometrial lining so there should be no bleeding whatsoever. The medical profession takes the stance that uterine cancer must be ruled out first in any case of menopause bleeding and that any menopausal bleeding is “uterine cancer until proven otherwise.” 

Studies show that only about 3-7% of women with menopausal bleeding will actually have cancer. However, in medicine, that is a relatively large number and all women with any menopausal bleeding must have an evaluation of their uterus. In years gone by, this was often a D&C (dilatation and curettage) and for many years a simple uterine biopsy was the standard of care. This has recently changed, based much on Dr. Goldstein’s research, and such an evaluation can begin with a vaginal sonogram and may require some water instillation as described above. 

Doctor Steven R. Goldstein, a top NYC Gyn, is well qualified to evaluate any case of menopause bleeding with non-invasive vaginal sonograms and discuss the results and treatment plan with patients.
