Doctor Steven R. Goldstein MD is one of the nation’s top gynecologists in practice for over 25 years. Dr Goldstein is an Ovarian Cyst Specialist in NYC.
Patients sometimes worry that an ovarian cyst may become cancerous and “want it out as soon as possible”. However all the non specific term “ovarian cyst” means is that there is a fluid filled structure within your ovary. Each month a healthy premenopausal patient forms a 2 ½ centimeter “cyst”, which is the dominant follicle prior to ovulation. If ovulation does not take place and this follicle enlarges, it becomes known as a “follicular cyst.”
This “ovarian cyst” is not a tumor, benign or malignant, and does not require any medical procedure. It is very important to know that this structure will never become malignant (cancerous). This fluid filled structure in the ovaries is not the same as having a mass in the breast which may ultimately “cross the line” and become cancer.
Dr Steven R. Goldstein MD, a top Gynecologist in NYC, can evaluate patients who have ovarian cysts with transvaginal ultrasounds and color doppler to distinguish whether there is anything truly suspicious other than just an ovarian cyst.
At Dr Goldstein’s practice, patient care is the top priority. Dr Goldstein personally sees every patient from beginning to end of the visit. Dr Goldstein does not employ any Physician Assistants or ultrasound technicians because he personally performs all procedures and is with you from the beginning to the end of the visit.
Dr Goldstein is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at New York University School of Medicine, former Director of Gynecologic Ultrasound at New York University Langone Medical Center and is considered one of the nation’s top doctors in gynecology.
