WHAT IS ADENOMYOSIS?

Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD WHAT IS ADENOMYOSIS?

Dr Steven R. Goldstein MD is one of the nation’s top gynecologists and a gynecologist in NYC. Women may experience very heavy periods (heavy bleeding known also as menorrhagia) and painful menstruation. Many women believe that all the blood that comes out of their vagina comes from their period. However, a menstrual period is preceded 14 days prior by ovulation.

Women with prolonged, heavy bleeding from menstruation and painful menstruation should see a gynecologist at the earliest for an evaluation to determine if it is due to “Adenomyosis” a painful, yet benign condition due to the inner lining of the uterus protruding through the muscle wall of the uterus. The condition is sometimes misdiagnosed as a uterine fibroid.

This displaced tissue (the inner lining of the uterus) continues to act normally during each menstrual cycle by thickening, then breaking down and bleeding. This can cause an enlarged uterus and painful, heavy periods.

Dr Steven R. Goldstein, believes in using non-invasive methods such as Transvaginal Ultrasounds to diagnose the cause of heavy periods and painful menstruation. Using transvaginal ultrasounds, Dr Goldstein is able to see clear, high-resolution images of the uterus, the lining of the uterus, and the wall of the uterus to properly diagnose the cause of the heavy periods. He is able to see if any heavy bleeding is due to Adenomyosis, see if there is displaced tissue, an enlarged uterus and so on.

Dr Goldstein is one of the most highly regarded individuals in the world on transvaginal ultrasounds and a Transvaginal Ultrasound Specialist in NYC. Dr Goldstein also uses Sonohysterography, where a saline solution is instilled into the uterus while an endovaginal ultrasound is performed. This also produces very clear, high-resolution images of the uterus which leads to an accurate diagnosis for the heavy periods. Both Sonohysterography and Transvaginal Ultrasounds are painless, noninvasive procedures. Dr Goldstein personally performs all Sonohysterograms and Transvaginal Ultrasounds.
