Editorial Policy

Accuracy and sourcing

Every health claim we publish is supported by a citation to a credible source. We prioritize, in roughly this order: guidance from public health bodies (WHO, CDC, NHS), professional medical organizations (such as ACOG), established health institutions (Mayo Clinic, Planned Parenthood), and peer-reviewed research. Each article lists its references, with outbound links to the original sources.

Writing standards

• Content is written in clear, plain English at an accessible reading level.
• We use correct anatomical and medical terminology, never euphemism or slang.
• Tone is clinical, warm, and judgment-free — never explicit or sensational.
• We answer the reader's question directly and early, then add depth.

Medical review

Our content is grounded in authoritative clinical guidance. We are building toward independent review of every article by a named, appropriately credentialed healthcare professional. Where an article has been reviewed, the reviewer is clearly identified. We never attribute a review to a person who did not perform it.

Freshness and updates

Health guidance evolves. We review and update articles periodically and display a “last updated” date so you know how current the information is. Significant changes in medical consensus prompt a review.

Corrections

If you find an error, please tell us via our contact page. We investigate every report and correct confirmed errors promptly, updating the article's revision date.

Independence and advertising

Our content is created independently of any advertiser. This site is supported by advertising, but advertisers have no influence over what we publish or how we present health information. Editorial content and advertising are kept clearly separate.
