If you're having issues with dwindling hormone levels and think hormone therapy at Trophy Club Family Medicine, serving Trophy Club, TX, and the surrounding region, from Dr. David Yi, Dr. Paula Lansford-Seabaugh, and Carol A. Addy, PA-C could help. Here are the steps to prepare for your appointment.

Write Down Medications and Health Conditions

 Nervousness might cause you to forget to mention certain health conditions or medications you take. To provide you with an accurate diagnosis and the safest, most effective treatment, we encourage you to write down all the medications you take and any health conditions you have. As you're devising this list, don't forget to include supplements and over-the-counter drugs because these can impact certain health conditions and treatments.

Have a List of Questions

 You may feel stressed when you arrive, which can lead to you forgetting to ask some of the questions you had. We want you to feel comfortable and make the most out of your appointment, so we advise you to create a list of all the inquiries you have about the treatment, hormonal changes, and other similar topics.

Know Your Treatment Restrictions in Advance

 A practitioner from our Trophy Club, TX, office will devise the appropriate treatment plan based on your test and examination results and symptoms. However, if you have any specific requirements for your treatment, we encourage you to speak up so we can accommodate you.

For instance, let's say you're vegan. Please let us know because some hormone therapy options use animal-based ingredients. We can then offer plant-derived therapy to ensure you're not putting anything into your body you don't want there.

Another example: if you would like to avoid, if at all possible, any medicated solutions to manage your symptoms, inform us of that as well. We can provide treatments and recommendations outside the normal options.

Try Not to Stress 

 Hormone changes are a natural part of life for everyone. Don't feel embarrassed about anything you want to tell us. Chances are, we've already heard it from a previous patient.

Rather than stressing over what will happen during the appointment, think about the end outcome of fewer and less intense hormone-related symptoms. Know that whichever practitioner you see isn't here to judge and will listen to you attentively. 

If you need, take time to meditate or find some way to channel your energy to de-stress first and come in with a clear mind.

Trophy Club Medicine, serving Trophy Club, TX, and the general vicinity, is proud to have Dr. David Yi, Dr. Paula Lansford-Seabaugh, and Carol A. Addy, PA-C who can offer hormone therapy to patients struggling with the unpleasantries of hormone changes, like hot flashes.
