About Dr. Gabriela
Medicine that listens before it decides.
I am a physician trained at UNIFACS, with a specialization in Gynecology and Obstetrics from the Maternidade Professor José Maria de Magalhães Netto and Hospital Santo Antônio, Obras Sociais Irmã Dulce, in Salvador, Bahia.
I believe in care grounded in scientific evidence and adapted to your history, your routine and your goals. Each visit is a space to ask questions calmly and build the right plan together with you.
My practice covers general gynecology, hormonal health, family planning and pregnancy follow-up, including high-risk pregnancies. I also work as a clinical preceptor for medical students.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions, answered clearly.
Have a specific situation? A consultation is the best place to talk it through.
Are hot flashes normal in menopause? Is there treatment?
Yes. Hot flashes are one of the most common symptoms of menopause and the climacteric, and effective treatments exist, with or without hormone therapy. Seek an evaluation if they disrupt your sleep or daily life.
What are the symptoms of menopause?
The most common are hot flashes, sleep changes, menstrual cycle changes, vaginal dryness and mood swings. Every woman experiences them differently, and their intensity varies.
How do I know if I am in the climacteric?
It is identified through your clinical history and symptoms. Changes in the menstrual cycle are often the first sign. Hormone tests are not always needed, and each case is assessed individually.
Does PCOS make it harder to get pregnant?
PCOS can make ovulation less regular, which may make pregnancy harder for some women. Many conceive with follow-up and, when needed, specific treatments.
I have PCOS. Do I need treatment?
Not always. Treatment depends on your symptoms and goals. It is usually recommended for irregular periods, acne, excess hair growth, a wish to conceive or metabolic risks. Each case is assessed individually.
Is hormone therapy for menopause safe?
For most healthy women, when started at the right age and time, hormone therapy brings important benefits. The indication depends on your history, and we weigh risks and benefits together.
