Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD is one of the most regarded individuals in the field of vaginal probe ultrasounds, an internationally recognized expert in the field of gynaecological ultrasound and imaging and a Sonohysterogram Gynecologist in New York City. Many women with symptoms of bleeding (for instance Abnormal Uterine bleeding), repeat miscarriage, fibroids, polyps, and other conditions require monitoring or in some cases are told they need painful surgeries or endometrial biopsies which are not just painful, but “blind� because the abnormality may not be global. A Sonohysterogram is a type of ultrasound which is used to obtain very clear images of the uterus for evaluation purposes. This procedure is not just painless, but very precise because Doctor Goldstein can see very detailed, high resolution and precise images of the uterus and determine the precise cause of the symptoms.

A Sonohysterogram, also called water sonogram, is a technique that has been championed by Doctor Goldstein for more than 20 years. It involves the insertion of a tiny catheter about the diameter of a Swizzle Stick right past the cervical opening in order to inject approximately a table spoon of sterile saline in to the uterus while doing a sonogram. Fluid enhances sound transmission. That is why ultrasound is such a “home run� in obstetrics. The baby is in a bag of water. By putting fluid in to the uterine cavity while doing a sonogram, we can see the uterine lining with microscopic precision. This will help distinguish if the potential abnormality is global (occupies the entire uterine cavity, which then allows for a blind biopsy) or is focal (occupying just a portion of the cavity, as many cancers, pre-cancers and polyps do).
