Corrections & Fact-Checking Policy
Last Updated: 2026-07-25
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Period Talk is dedicated to publishing accurate, evidence-informed healthcare education. When factual errors, outdated medical recommendations, broken source links, or typographic mistakes occur, we correct them promptly, transparently, and responsibly.
Categories of Corrections & Updates
1. Substantive Factual or Medical Corrections
If an article contains an inaccurate statistic, outdated diagnostic threshold, or incorrect medication detail, we correct the text immediately and append a clear Correction Note detailing what was updated and the date of modification.
2. Guideline & Evidence Updates
When public health agencies (ACOG, NHS, NICE, WHO, FOGSI) issue updated clinical guidelines, our healthcare editorial team updates affected pages and refreshes the "Last Updated" timestamp.
3. Reader-Reported Issues & Feedback
We encourage readers, healthcare providers, and educators to submit corrections or report broken links. We aim to review reported factual or medical concerns promptly.
