Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD is an Expert Gynecologist in New
York City who has helped thousands of women safely navigate perimenopause. As a
certified menopause practitioner and a past President of the North American
Menopause Society (NAMS), Dr. Goldstein works with women experiencing
perimenopause to understand the changes their bodies are undergoing, lifestyle
changes necessary, and what treatments are available.
As a woman
enters perimenopause and ovulation is on the decline, unscheduled bleeding may
occur and cause alarm. This dysfunctional uterine bleeding in perimenopausal
patients can be caused by a lack of ovulation, which is better treated
hormonally, not surgically. So how can a gynecologist determine whether the
bleeding is caused by a lack of ovulation without doing any surgical procedures
to diagnose the condition? The answer is a non-invasive, painless procedure called
Sonohysterography which is performed in a few minutes right in the office.
Sonohysterography,
by assessing endometrial thickness, can reliably distinguish between patients
whose bleeding is as a result of a lack of ovulation and those who are in need
of formal curettage and hysteroscopy.
Since in
both transvaginal ultrasounds and Sonohysterography the skill of the operator
is very important, Dr Goldstein performs both these procedures himself to see
the uterus, the lining etc. himself. Clear, high definition images are produced
for analysis and diagnosis. Dr Goldstein is not just an Expert Gynecologist in New York City, but he is also Director
of Gynecologic Ultrasound at NYU Langone Medical Center and a Professor of
Obstetrics and Gynecology, New York University School of Medicine. Thus he is
very well qualified to perform Sonohysterograms and properly diagnose the cause
of any abnormal uterine bleeding.
Dr.
Goldstein has found that in the vast amount of patients abnormal uterine
bleeding is associated with episodes of no ovulation. This condition can be
managed hormonally in premenopausal.
