Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD, top New York Gynecologist for Menorrhagia

Doctor Steven R. Goldstein MD, a top New York city gynecologist, often sees patients with the chief complaint of heavy periods and bleeding. This is called Menorrhagia.

There are several situations which can cause heavy bleeding during periods. First, women who have had several children will see an increase in the surface area of their uterine lining, resulting in heavy bleeding during periods without any abnormality.

Secondly, a condition known as adenomyosis may also cause heavy bleeding. This too is a benign, non-cancerous cause.

Thirdly, some women may have fibroids which cause growth of the uterine cavity and increased bleeding due to more surface area.

Fourthly, uterine polyps which are in tandem with the menstrual cycle can result in heavy bleeding also.

Women with heavy menstrual bleeding or any vaginal bleeding can be evaluated with a painless, non-invasive transvaginal ultrasound or Sonohysterography by Dr. Goldstein and avoid painful D&C procedures or hysterectomies.
