FAQ

Here to help answer all your doubts


Where does Dr. Joana Faria see patients in Lisbon?

Dr. Joana Faria sees patients in person at XClinic and Medmulher in Lisbon, and she performs surgery and deliveries at Hospital da Luz Lisboa. She also offers online consultations for suitable situations, so you can choose the option that best fits your needs and location.

What types of gynecology and obstetrics consultations does she offer?

She offers preventive care (routine check-ups, cervical screening, breast exams), general gynecology (cycle changes, pelvic pain, infections), contraception counselling, preconception consultation, follow-up of low- and high-risk pregnancies, post-partum care, and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery for conditions such as fibroids, polyps, endometriosis or ovarian cysts.

In which languages can I have my consultation?

Dr. Joana Faria consults in Portuguese, English, French, and Spanish. You can choose the language you feel most comfortable with when booking your appointment, in person or online.

Does she offer online gynecology consultations?

Yes. Online consultations are available for many situations, such as reviewing results, discussing symptoms, adjusting treatment, preconception counselling or contraception advice. A physical examination and ultrasound still require an in-person visit, which she will recommend if needed.

How can I book an appointment?

You can book directly online using the “Book a consultation” buttons, choosing XClinic, Medmulher or an online consultation. If you prefer, you can contact the clinics by phone or email using the details on the Contact page, and the team will help you schedule your visit.

What happens during a first gynecology consultation?

The first consultation starts with a detailed conversation about your symptoms, menstrual cycle, medical history and expectations. When appropriate, a gynecological examination and ultrasound are performed, always with clear explanation and respect for your comfort. At the end, you receive a personalised plan, which may include lifestyle advice, exams, medication or follow-up consultations.

Does she follow pregnancies and perform deliveries at Hospital da Luz Lisboa?

Yes. She provides preconception counselling, follow-up of low- and high-risk pregnancies, and post-partum care. Deliveries and obstetric procedures are performed at Hospital da Luz Lisboa, in coordination with the hospital team, to ensure safety for both mother and baby.

What should I do in case of an urgent problem or emergency?

This website and online booking cannot be used for emergencies. If you have severe pain, heavy bleeding, think you may be having a miscarriage or any situation that seems urgent, you should contact the emergency services or go directly to the nearest emergency department. For urgent but non-life-threatening problems, please call the clinics or hospital so that your situation can be assessed and prioritised.
