Editorial policy
Every guide on femio cites its sources and is editorially checked. As of October 2026, 25 of our 100 guides name the clinician who reviewed them; the rest say “clinician review pending” until a clinician has.
Evidence over opinion
Every fact traces to a top-tier source such as WHO, CDC, NHS, or ACOG. We never invent statistics or guideline positions; a claim we cannot source is cut.
Honest review labels
A page says “Reviewed by” and names the clinician only when a clinician has reviewed it. Every other page says “Editorially checked · clinician review pending”. A label never changes without a review.
At least two sources per page
Each guide cites at least two independent sources — at least one from a leading medical body — stored and shown so you can check them yourself.
Plain language
English guides are written at about a grade 6–8 reading level; other languages target the same clarity, with any jargon defined on first use.
Safety foregrounded
Guides include a specific when-to-see-a-doctor section, and a clear seek-care-now box wherever a symptom can be an emergency.
Independent of advertising
Medical content is editorially independent. Advertisers never influence what we publish, and ads are never targeted using your health data.
Kept current
Pages show when they were last updated, and reviewed pages show their review date. We aim to re-check every page at least once a year, and sooner when guidance changes.
