« Just because it’s common doesn’t mean you have to live with it. »
Dr Nascimento studied medicine in Lisbon, with a key chapter in Innsbruck, Austria, as part of a university exchange. This experience abroad, working with patients from various cultural backgrounds, confirmed her early interest in gynaecology and shaped her approach to care: attentive, open-minded, and respectful.
She supports women of all ages with kindness, placing particular focus on menopause care and the overall health of women in midlife. Her consultations are designed as safe spaces, where nothing is taboo and every question is welcome. She always takes time to explain diagnoses and treatments clearly, in simple and accessible terms. For her, every medical decision is made together, with transparency and mutual respect.
