Endometriosis
While in training, Dr. Chacho authored an award-winning paper
investigating the mechanisms by which endometriosis affects
fertility. Since that time, he has maintained a particular
interest in treating endometriosis both for infertility and
pain relief. He specializes in microsurgery and laser laparoscopy
for infertility patients. For pain treatment, he utilizes conservative
approaches including medications and conservative surgical
procedures as alternatives to hysterectomy.
Fibroids
Dr. Chacho specializes in the conservative treatment of
uterine fibroids. He utilizes hysteroscopic surgery in which
fibroids are removed from the inside of the uterus without
incisions and myomectomy where fibroids are removed from
the outside of the uterus. In some cases, medications can
be used to completely avoid surgery.
Menopause
As a certified reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Chacho
specializes in the treatment of menopausal symptoms. If
hormones are indicated, only natural ones are used which
can be delivered by tablets, patches or creams. Each patient
is given the information that she needs to make an educated
decision about hormone therapy. Other Hormonal Problems
Dr. Chacho also specializes in the treatment of other
female hormonal problems, including PMS, recurrent miscarriage,
hirsutism (unwanted hair growth), abnormal periods, premature
puberty and delayed puberty. Wherever possible conservative
approaches are used such as endometrial ablation rather
than hysterectomy, to treat abnormal uterine bleeding.
