Gynecologist in NYC

Patients who see Dr Goldstein, an expert gynecologist in New York , sometimes have Perimenopause. This is the transition period to menopause and can begin 4 to 7 years before menopause. Some women in their late 30’s and forties may already be experiencing symptoms. During this perimenopause stage, “irregular” is what is considered regular in terms of menstrual periods. Shorter, longer, lighter, heavier, the character of a woman’s period can change so much during perimenopause, and at times this change can be subtle.

Why does this matter?

Why does this matter? It does because cycles when women do not ovulate are characterized by variable amounts of estrogen production without progesterone to balance it. This “imbalance” isn’t dangerous (although it can be in the case of unopposed estrogen for very long periods of time, which is unusual), but it is the basis of a host of symptoms that appear to be totally unrelated to the woman’s menstrual cycle        

occasional hot flashes sleep problems vaginal dryness free floating anxiety memory lapses “foggy memory” inability to concentrate feeling depressed at times and so on.
