Dr Steven R. Goldstein MD

Obgyn in Manhattan for abnormal bleeding conditions

 

 Doctor Steven R. Goldstein is a top obgyn in NYC and an internationally recognized expert in gynaecological ultrasound and imaging.

 A frequent complaint of women visiting their gynecologist is 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 cancer from this abnormal bleeding.

 As one of America’s best gynecologists and an obgyn in Manhattan, 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.

 Abnormal uterine bleeding can occur for many reasons - uterine polyps, fibroids, miscarriage, the onset of menopause, hormonal imbalances or even cancer. 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.

 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&C’s and the pain, cost and risks associated with them.

 Dr Goldstein is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at New York School of Medicine, and a former Director of Gynecologic Ultrasound at New York University Medical Center and is a past President of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine. Dr Goldstein personally performs all transvaginal ultrasounds and sonohysterograms. He does not rely on a technician or a report.
