Dr Steven R. Goldstein MD is the best Gynecologist in Manhattan. When Dr Goldstein does an annual exam, a pap smear is always part of it. Current guidelines state that women should have their first pap test at age 21 and have one every two years. However, Dr Goldstein strongly recommends women have a Pap Smear exam done annually to help detect the presence of any cervical cancer cells early and prevent the need for aggressive treatment. This routine, painless examination performed by Dr Goldstein checks the changes in the cells of the cervix and is the best test for identifying abnormal, cancerous and pre-cancerous cells. An abnormal pap smear doesn’t mean the patient should jump to conclusions. An abnormal pap smear simply means there has been a change in the cervical cells. The reason for the change in cervical cells can be infection, inflammation, changes in the menstrual cycle, or in some cases pre-cancerous or cancerous cells. It is important to note that not all pap smear abnormalities lead to cancer. At times changes in the menstrual cycle or a change in cervical cells caused by infection or inflammation can lead to abnormal results. In some cases pre-cancerous or cancerous cells may be the cause. In these cases Dr Goldstein will carefully review your case and determine if further tests are needed or if necessary advise of the best available non-invasive treatment options available to you. Dr Goldstein, a top Gynecologist in Manhattan, has been in practice for over 25 years and is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at New York University School Of Medicine. He is also a Past Chairman of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, New York section, Past President American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine and is currently the Director of Gynecologic Ultrasound at NYU Langone Medical Center.
