Dr. Goldstein is a Certified Menopause Practitioner, North American Medical Society (NAMS), a Past President, North American Menopause Society and President-elect International Menopause Society.
In menopause, by definition, the ovaries are no longer functioning
and, therefore, not making any estrogen or progesterone. Thus, there is no
stimulation of the endometrial lining and there should be absolutely no further
bleeding. Any bleeding in a menopausal patient, even staining, regardless of
how slight or short in duration must be evaluated. Even third year
medical students know that any menopausal bleeding is “uterine cancer until
proven otherwise.”
However, do not be overly alarmed. Studies show that only about
3-7% of women with menopausal bleeding will actually have cancer. However, in
medicine, that is a relatively large number and all women with any menopausal
bleeding must have an evaluation of their uterus.
In years gone by, this was often a D&C (dilatation and curettage)
and for many years a simple uterine biopsy was the standard of care. This has
recently changed, based much on Dr. Goldstein’s research, and such an
evaluation can begin with a vaginal sonogram.
Dr. Goldstein is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at
