Female Hormone Replacement Therapy Treatment by Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD

Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD is the winner of the Thomas A. Clarkson award for many outstanding contributions to menopause related clinical or basic science research. He is one of the nation’s top doctors in Gynecology and a Certified Menopause Practitioner as well as the co-author of the book “The Estrogen Alternative”.

With over 25 years of experience as a top Gynecologist, Dr. Goldstein has successfully used Female Hormone Replacement Therapy to treat menopausal women or women suffering from perimenopause or other conditions arising from a lack of female hormones. In his book, “The Estrogen Alternative”, Dr. Goldstein was the first to outline the options and benefits to women interested in synthetic hormones - Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) for Female Hormone Replacement Therapy.

When a woman’s body stops producing Estrogen and Progesterone naturally, symptoms such as sleep disturbances, free floating anxiety, foggy memory, mood swings, hot flashes, vaginal dryness and night sweats can arise. The production of estrogen and Progesterone can decrease or cease entirely due to age, menopause or other factors.

Female Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) uses prescription drugs. These can come in the form of pills, patches or creams to replace this estrogen synthetically. Once the estrogen is replaced, the overall health of menopausal women improves, especially by helping to prevent heart disease, high cholesterol, and improving the condition of the bones.

Goldstein is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at New York University School of Medicine and a Past Chairman of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, New York Section and Honorary Fellow, Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Dr. Steven R. Goldstein - Best Obgyn in NYC for a Second Opinion Before Surgery

Sadly, too many gynecologists recommend painful Dilation and Curettage (D&C), exploratory surgeries, or endometrial biopsies as the first option for diagnosing a patient’s condition. These and other invasive procedures are no longer the standard of care in gynecology. They are costly, require anaesthesia, and significant recovery time.

Today there are non-invasive procedures which are less costly, more accurate, painless and can be performed in a few minutes right in the office to fully diagnose the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding, fibroids, ovarian cysts, thick uterine bleeding, menorrhagia and more.

These non-invasive procedures are Sonohysterograms and Transvaginal Ultrasounds.

Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD, the Best Obgyn in NYC, is a pioneer in the field of gynecological ultrasounds. He is highly regarded as one of the nation’s best gynecologists and a foremost authority on gynecological ultrasound and imaging. He currently serves as Director of Gynecologic Ultrasound at New York University Medical Center and President of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine among many other roles.

Dr. Goldstein personally performs all Sonohysterograms and Transvaginal ultrasounds. While painful endometrial biopsies only sample the area involved, these transvaginal ultrasounds and Sonohysterograms produce clear images of the entire area - uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, cervix and so on. These clear images help Dr. Goldstein properly diagnose the patient and recommend a course of treatment.

Dr. Goldstein is the recipient of the 2018 Joseph H. Holmes Clinical Pioneer Award from the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM). This is in recognition of Dr. Goldstein’s distinguished career in ultrasound in medicine, and making outstanding contributions to the growth and development of medical ultrasound.

If you have been recommended for painful exploratory surgery, endometrial biopsies or Dilation and Curettage (D&C), then contact Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD, the Best Obgyn in NYC, for a second opinion before having surgery. Visit Dr. Goldstein’s website at www.goldsteinmd.com for more information and to make an appointment.
