Hormone Therapy in Frisco

Think of hormone therapy like tuning a piano—every string needs to be perfectly in tune to create a beautiful harmony. Your body is like the piano, and your hormones are the strings that need to be tuned.

Getting hormone therapy in Frisco can help restore the natural harmony that your body has been missing. You may experience relief from symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and more. After your consultation with Dr. Stoehr, you’ll work collaboratively to find the best treatment for your needs—helping you get everything back in tune.

In addition to symptom relief, hormone therapy focuses on restoring balance between key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Each plays a different role in how you feel day to day. Estrogen supports brain function, vaginal health, and temperature regulation. Progesterone can help with sleep and mood stability. Testosterone, though often overlooked, supports energy, strength, and libido.

Your treatment may include creams, patches, pills, or injections, depending on what works best for your body and lifestyle. Dr. Stoehr monitors your response over time, adjusting your plan as needed. Many patients begin noticing improvements within a few weeks, with more steady results developing over several months.

Hormone therapy can be like turning on a light in a dim room for your body—illuminating the path to feeling like yourself again. It can bring relief from frustrating symptoms and help you regain control of your well-being.

Some benefits of hormone therapy include:

• Relief from hot flashes
• Mood stabilization
• More restful sleep
• Increased sex drive and desire
• Weight management
• Decreased menopause symptoms

By addressing the root causes of your symptoms, hormone therapy can help you feel more balanced, confident, and in sync with your body. It supports long-term wellness, giving you the tools to thrive physically and mentally as you regain control over your hormone health.

At The Stoehr Center, we offer various bioidentical hormone therapy options. These personalized treatments can help restore balance and help address symptoms of hormone imbalance.

Our hormone therapy offerings:

• Topical Estrogen: Applied as a cream or gel, this treatment helps relieve hot flashes, night seats, vaginal dryness, and more by restoring estrogen levels to where they should be over time.
• Oral Progesterone: Taken as a pill, it helps balance estrogen, supports better sleep, and works to protect your uterine lining.
• Topical Testosterone: Another cream or gel applied to your skin. It helps balance your testosterone levels and boosts energy, improves mood, and enhances sexual health.

No matter which option you and Dr. Stoehr decide on, her team can tailor the treatment to meet your specific needs. Angie will work with you to create a plan that helps you feel your best.

Bioidentical hormones are hormones designed to closely match the ones that your body produces naturally. They are created from plant-based sources and are chemically identical to your body’s own hormones, making them easier to recognize and use.

At The Stoehr Center, we use FDA-approved bioidentical hormones because they offer a more natural approach to hormone therapy. These hormones can help restore your body’s natural balance. By working with your body instead of against it, bioidentical hormones provide a safe and effective way to help you feel like yourself again.

Unlike some older synthetic hormones, which are “hormone-like” but not an exact match, bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as human hormones like estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. This allows them to bind to your body’s receptors more predictably.

Most bioidentical hormones begin as compounds extracted from plants like wild yams or soy. Scientists convert these compounds into hormones that match human biology through careful lab processing. This is why they are often described as “plant-derived,” even though they are highly refined and medically formulated.

It is important to understand that eating soy or yams will not provide the same effect. The benefit comes from how these hormones are designed and dosed specifically for your body.

We do have a list of important guidelines to follow to ensure that you get the best care and the best results possible.

Pre-Care:

• Establish healthy habits, like dieting and exercise.
• Do not start drinking alcohol regularly or using tobacco products.
• Stay properly hydrated before your appointment.
• Do not start any medications without speaking with your provider.
• Please be fully open and honest about your entire medical history during your consultation with Dr. Stoehr.

Post-Care:

• Continue with your healthy habits—hydrating properly, eating well, and getting proper physical exercise.
• Do not undergo other hormone therapy treatments without consulting Dr. Stoehr or your primary care provider.
• Inform Dr. Stoehr about any and all side effects you may experience while being seen for hormone therapy in Frisco.

This short list of guidelines may be subject to change depending on which hormone therapy treatment you and Dr. Stoehr decide will work best for you. If you choose to follow through with hormone therapy, our staff will make sure you have all of the proper information and education you need—your comfort in treatment is our goal.
