Endometriosis Specialist in Frisco

Endometriosis is a condition where the tissue that belongs in your uterus grows outside of it—typically in your ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other areas in your pelvic region. This misplaced tissue continues to act like the normal uterine lining, thickening and shedding with your menstrual cycle.
Since this tissue has nowhere to go, it causes pain, inflammation, and sometimes scar tissue or adhesions. The result can be symptoms like:

• Severe pelvic pain
• Pain during intercourse
• Infertility
• Fatigue
• Bloating

If you’ve been experiencing symptoms like these, then we recommend requesting a consultation with Dr. Stoehr—our endometriosis specialist in Frisco. She uses functional medicine to address the root cause of endometriosis.

Yes, endometriosis can have widespread effects on your overall health—especially if it goes untreated. In addition to the pelvic pain and discomfort it causes, it can also lead to chronic fatigue, digestive issues, other vaginal concerns, and bladder problems—like interstitial cystitis.

It can also affect fertility by increasing the risk of ovarian cysts and adhesions. These health issues are mainly more of a concern if you aren’t able to get your endometriosis treated by a healthcare professional. Dr. Stoehr will work to address how endometriosis may be affecting your overall health.

Yes, endometriosis can affect fertility in some women. This condition can lead to scar tissue or adhesions that may block fallopian tubes or affect the function of your ovaries—making it more difficult for the sperm and egg to meet. It’s also possible for the inflammation caused by endometriosis to disrupt normal ovulation.

That all may sound scary, but there is good news! Endometriosis doesn’t always mean infertility, especially if treated early. Many women who live with endometriosis can still have children with the right support and care.

Dr. Stoehr can provide care and support through a number of different methods. Our goal at The Stoehr Center is to offer solutions and be here as a support system during your treatment—and after, if needed.

Dr. Stoehr combines functional medicine with traditional treatments to get to the heart of your pain. We believe in addressing concerns with noninvasive treatments before suggesting surgical options.

Our treatments for endometriosis look like:

• Surgical intervention (if needed)
• Supplements
• Hormone therapy
• SoLa for pelvic therapy
• Therapy referrals

Dr. Stoehr will work with you to develop long-term strategies for managing endometriosis. These may include stress management or health coaching to improve your overall wellness.

Yes, it can! Pelvic therapy can be a valuable part of your endometriosis treatment plan. Strengthening the muscles in your pelvic region with pelvic therapy can help reduce pain, improve blood flow, and increase pelvic health.

As an endometriosis specialist in Frisco, Dr. Stoehr may recommend SoLa Pelvic Therapy. It can help you relax tight muscles and strengthen weak area—which can significantly ease pelvic discomfort and pain. After your consultation, Dr. Stoehr will assess your unique needs and incorporate pelvic therapy into your treatment plan.

Your treatment process and improvement timeline will look different from other patients because your needs are very different than others. Dr. Stoehr creates a unique treatment plan for each patient—there’s no one-size-fits-all care here. Dr. Stoehr tailors every treatment to meet a patient’s individual needs.

Some patients notice significant improvements in their symptoms after just a couple of weeks. Full results may take longer than this, depending on the severity of your symptoms. The goal is to help you manage symptoms while we get to the root cause of your pain.
