Dr Steven R. Goldstein MD - Transvaginal Ultrasounds and Endometriosis diagnosis

 

 

 

Dr Steven R. Goldstein MD is a top Obgyn in Manhattan.  He has been in private practice for over 25 years and is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at New York University School of medicine, a former Director of Gynecologic Ultrasound at NYU Langone Medical Center and a Past President of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine.

 

Dr Goldstein uses painless, non-invasive Transvaginal Ultrasounds to diagnose whether women experiencing pelvic pain, painful periods and heavy bleeding during periods have endometriosis.

 

Implants of endometriosis can occur anywhere; however, the more common areas of involvement include the bladder wall, ureter, and anterior abdominal wall in patients who have had abdominal surgery such as a prior C section or laparoscopy.

 

Dr Steven R Goldstein MD is not just the Director of Gynecologic Ultrasound at NYU Langone Medical Center, but he is a skilled operator of Transvaginal Ultrasounds and personally conducts each of these ultrasounds to properly diagnose his patients. Dr Goldstein recently received the Joseph H. Holmes Clinical Pioneer Award which honors individuals who have significantly contributed to the growth and development of medical ultrasound.

 

When using transvaginal ultrasounds, Endometriosis of the bladder wall appears as a fusiform solid thickening of the wall itself. A non-functioning kidney may be the result of chronic ureteral obstruction that is silent and present as a result of endometrial implants impinge on the ureter. In patients who have had prior abdominal surgery, endometriosis may present as a hard, solid mass in the anterior abdominal wall in the region of the scar. Little color flow may be present and the mass is often tender.

 

In addition to what Dr Goldstein sees on the screen, these transvaginal ultrasounds lead to the production of clear, high-resolution images of the uterus, endometrial lining, fallopian tubes, ovaries and so on to allow Dr Goldstein to make a precise diagnosis and preserve the images for any other specialist who may need to see them.

 

At Dr Goldstein’s office, patient care is catered to the patient and Dr Goldstein is the only medical personnel you will see on your visit as he attends to you from beginning to end, personally performing all examinations and procedures and of course the transvaginal ultrasounds to detect whether the patient has endometriosis and if so the details of the diagnosis.

 

After the transvaginal ultrasound procedures, Dr Goldstein will discuss the results and diagnosis with the patient and agree on the best possible course of moving forward.
