Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a concern for any post-menopausal woman. After menopause, levels of estrogen significantly decrease, which results in decreased bone mineral density. Bones become more brittle and more prone to fracture, a feared complication for any older woman.
Arthritis
Medical Weight Loss
It is estimated that approximately two-thirds of Americans are overweight. According to a survey released in 2004, obesity afflicts 31.1% of men and 33.2% of women. Obesity is not only bad for body image, but poses a risk for other serious health disorders such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney disease, various cancers, and sleep apnea. Therefore, it is important to take precaution and consult your physician about weight-loss if your body-mass index (BMI) is greater than 25.

Gynecology
Dr. Manasson moved to California in 1997 and has been practicing here for over 10 years. She has extensive experience in gynecology and surgery. Her professional approach includes preventive care, patient education, and individual treatment planning based on the latest advancements in medicine.

Internal Medicine
Dr. Manasson is a diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine. She graduated medical school from the Russian State Medical University in Moscow, Russia, and worked as an Ob/Gyn specialist for 12 years. After immigrating to the United States, she completed her Internal Medicine internship and residency at The Brooklyn Hospital Center in Brooklyn, New York, and now specializes in Internal Medicine.
Urinary Tract Infection
Women ages 18 to 40 who presented with acute UTIs to the University of Michigan Health Service were randomized to receive 8 oz of either placebo or cranberry juice. Urine samples were collected at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months after the initial visit. Results from the study showed that the overall recurrence rate of UTIs within 6 months was 16.9%, which was less than expected. Furthermore, the distribution of recurrence was similar in both groups. Thus, cranberry juice appears to have minimal affect on UTI prevention.
Lung Cancer
An updated analysis of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) randomized control trials on menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with estrogen plus progesterone shows an increase in both the incidence and mortality rates of breast and lung cancers. In one study 16,608 women ages 50-79 with an intact uterus were randomized to combined estrogen and progesterone therapy vs placebo for a median of 5.6 years. In the second study 10,739 women with a prior hysterectomy were randomized to estrogens alone vs placebo for an average of 7.1 years. Follow-up after 11 years revealed that women who received combined therapy had a 25% increase in breast cancer incidence and a 96% increase in mortality compared to women who were not placed on HRT. Furthermore, there was also a 23% increase in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) incidence with an 87% increase in mortality. The conclusions are groundbreaking!

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in the American adult population. It results from the gradual changes in the blood vessels of the retina, the light-sensitive area at the back of the eye. As the vessels deteriorate they become leaky, and fluid accumulates in the macula, the point of highest visual acuity. Other complications include hemorrhage, micoraneurysms, exudates, and neovascularization. All of these problems lead to changes in vision, and eventual vision loss.
