Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Specialist in NYC - Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD

 

Doctor Steven R. Goldstein MD, an Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Specialist in NYC sees patients present with abnormal bleeding. Unfortunately, many of these women are told they need a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) to find the cause of their abnormal bleeding. A D&C involves dilation of the cervix and then scraping of the endometrial lining of the uterus.

This is a painful, costly procedure with associated   risks and requires anaesthesia. Even worse is the fact that three fourths of these operations turn up nothing and turn out to be totally unnecessary.

Furthermore, many women fear that they may have cancer because of abnormal bleeding. However, abnormal uterine bleeding can occur for many reasons - uterine polyps, fibroids, miscarriage, the onset of menopause, hormonal imbalances and not just cancer.

As an abnormal uterine bleeding specialist in New York, Dr. Goldstein uses painless, non-invasive transvaginal ultrasounds (Vaginal Sonograms) and Sonohysterograpy performed right in his office within a few minutes to determine the cause of any abnormal uterine bleeding.

 In some cases, abnormal bleeding may also occur from cancer or hyperplasia (pre-cancer).

Even in this case, vaginal probe ultrasounds and fluid enhanced Sonohysterography can eliminate the need for almost all diagnostic D&Cs and the pain, cost, and risks associated with them.

Using the clear, high-resolution images provided by non-invasive Sonohysterography or Vaginal Sonograms, Dr. Goldstein is able to isolate the cause of the abnormal uterine bleeding.

For instance, examination of the high-resolution images of the uterine lining may show that the bleeding is due to a hormonal imbalance. Without progesterone, unopposed estrogen can cause heavy, spotty bleeding.
