He is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at New York University School of medicine, former Director of Gynecologic Ultrasound at NYU Langone Medical Center and a Past President of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine and many other credentials.

 

In practice for over 25 years, a frequent complaint of patients to Dr Goldstein’s office is unusually heavy periods. In medical terminology, these periods which are unusually heavy or prolonged are referred to as Menorrhagia. This condition is usually accompanied by severe cramps, sometimes the passing of larger blood clots, fatigue and tiredness, and bleeding which can last longer than seven days or so.

 

There are several possible causes for heavy menstural bleeding such as uterine polyps in synchrony with the normal menstrual cycle, the growth of the size of the uterus due to childbirth of many children, fibroids which can cause growth of the uterine cavity, a benign non-cancerous condition called Adenomyosis and hormonal imbalances which we will discuss below.  

 

Hormonal imbalances can cause heavy bleeding during periods. The hormones estrogen and progesterone are involved in the buildup of the lining of the uterus during menstruation. If there is an imbalance between estrogen and progesterone, the uterine lining grows excessively and causes heavy menstrual bleeding when it is shed during the menstrual cycle.

 

These hormonal imbalances cannot be detected by traditional invasive biopsies and such, but by non-invasive transvaginal ultrasounds and Sonohysterography and the clear images produced of the uterine lining.

 

As a top Gynecologist in Manhattan,  and an internationally renowned expert in Gynecologic Ultrasounds, Dr Goldstein uses painless, non-invasive Transvaginal Ultrasounds and Sonohysterography to examine and diagnose patients experiencing menorrhagia (heavy periods).
