Philosophy of Care

• Advocates for non-invasive, painless diagnostic techniques

• Uses Transvaginal Ultrasound and Sonohysterography

• Focuses on patient comfort and precision in diagnosis

Dr. Goldstein strongly believes in starting with the least invasive procedures possible. Rather than immediately resorting to biopsies or surgery, he utilizes techniques like transvaginal ultrasound and sonohysterography to gain insights into a patient’s condition in a more comfortable, risk-free manner.

Common Conditions Evaluated

• Abnormal uterine bleeding

• Heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia)

• Menopausal Bleeding

• Suspected fibroids, tumors, or ovarian cysts

Women often seek Dr. Goldstein's expertise when dealing with symptoms like abnormal or heavy uterine bleeding. These symptoms could indicate underlying issues such as fibroids, tumors, or cysts. His approach ensures a thorough evaluation using minimally invasive imaging.

Minimizing the Need for Surgery

• Imaging provides clear views of uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes

• Reduces need for endometrial biopsies or exploratory surgeries

• Helps determine hormonal health through uterine lining images

One of the key benefits of Dr. Goldstein’s approach is the potential to avoid unnecessary surgery. Through highresolution imaging, he can identify structural abnormalities and assess hormonal function—all without the discomfort or risk of traditional invasive methods.

Diagnostic Tools Explained

• Transvaginal Ultrasound: Internal ultrasound offering detailed pelvic images

• Sonohysterography: Saline infusion into the uterus to enhance imaging clarity

Transvaginal ultrasound involves placing a small probe inside the vagina to capture detailed images of reproductive organs. Sonohysterography goes a step further by introducing saline into the uterus, providing even clearer images of the uterine cavity. Both are fast, safe, and well tolerated by patients.
