Osteoporosis Specialist in NYC on muscle mass and strength

 

 

Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD is a top Osteoporosis Specialist in NYC and writes the Bone Health update for the OBG Management Journal. Dr. Goldstein has worked with thousands of women to help them through the menopause stage of life where many experience issues with bone health.

Dr. Goldstein believes patients’ bone health must be emphasized more than it has been in the past. Localized breast cancer carries a 5-year survival rate of 99%. By contrast, in this country, a hip fracture carries a mortality rate in the first year of 21%! Furthermore, approximately one-third of women who fracture their hip do NOT have osteoporosis. While the risk of hip fracture is greatest in women with osteoporosis, it is not absent in those without the condition.

The role of muscle mass, strength, and performance in bone health is a rapidly emerging topic. Dr. Goldstein, a leading osteoporosis specialist in NYC, will be writing more on this topic later this year.

A leading Gynecologist in NYC, Dr. Goldstein is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the New York University School of Medicine, President of the International Menopause Society, a Certified Menopause Practitioner with The North American Menopause Society, a Certified Clinical Densitometrist, International Society of Clinical Densitometry and Co-Directory of Bone Densitometry and Body Composition, NYU Langone Medical Center.

Dr. Goldstein has worked with thousands of women to help them through the menopause stage of life and has a particular interest in bone health, preventing osteoporosis, diagnosing bone mass with bone density testing, and talking to his patients about fall prevention and balance exercise. Sarcopenia and its loss of muscle can be just as devastating to the elderly as loss of bone. Resistive exercises are important. Walking, biking, and cardiovascular machines are good for you but do not build muscle mass. Only resistive exercises and strength training can do so.

Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD - Menopause and vaginal atrophy

 

Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD is a Hormone Specialist in NYC and is held to be one of the nation’s top Gynecologists. He is also a highly regarded menopause Specialist in NYC.  Dr. Goldstein is President of the International Menopause Society, a former President of the North American Menopause Society, and a Certified Menopause Practitioner.

When a woman’s ovaries cease producing estrogen, she enters menopause. Without any estrogen in menopause, the vagina becomes atrophic (the tissue wastes away). It loses blood supply and elasticity. It also loses its normal pH (acid/base balance) because it cannot support the normal predominant bacteria called lactobacillus that feasts on glycogen and produces lactic acid, thus lowering the pH.

Recent studies have shown that as many as 50% of postmenopausal women are not aware that there are treatments that are safe to treat this atrophy. They believe this is just a function of, “getting older.” Thus, many women “suffer in silence” and, if still partnered, are experiencing painful intercourse.

Dr. Goldstein, a highly regarded menopause specialist in NYC, says that there are several helps for vaginal atrophy. First, there are very low-dose estrogen creams, also tablets, and rings. There is also now one oral non-estrogen, which may have other beneficial effects on breast and bone, as well. A local vaginal insert, which is DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is also helpful. It is non-hormonal but is, however, metabolized to estrogen and testosterone.

If you are menopausal and suffering from vaginal atrophy and experiencing painful intercourse, it doesn’t have to be so. Dr. Steven R Goldstein MD is a hormone specialist in NYC who can evaluate menopausal patients
