Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD is an expert Obgyn in Manhattan, and is considered one of the nation’s top doctors in gynecology. In private practice for over 25 years, Dr. Goldstein is one of the most highly recognized and regarded individuals in the field of vaginal probe ultrasounds, and an internationally recognized expert in gynecological ultrasound and imaging. Enlargements found during bimanual pelvic exams need to be examined further with a sonogram. If a mass is detected, these growths are usually benign. The field of gynecologic ultrasound with the introduction of vaginal probe sonograms in the last 30 years has refined gynecologic diagnosis to the point where the overwhelming majority of masses detected are clearly benign and can be left alone without surgery. Unfortunately many physicians and patients, do not understand that benign ovarian growths do not become malignant. Perhaps this misconception is a result of the fact that virtually all other gynecologic cancers (cervix, uterus, and breast) have well defined premalignant stages that we attempt to identify before they become frank malignances. I also believe that another major reason that the rate of surgery for ovarian cysts and hysterectomy in the United States is twice as high as European countries is because their ability to better understand that gynecologic ultrasound can reliably suggest “benign” is far ahead of most doctors in the United States. If you are a woman who has been told you are in need of exploratory surgery because you have a “mass”, then contact Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD for a second opinion consult.
