Medical Review & Information Verification Policy
Last Updated: 2026-07-25
Transparent Clinical Disclosure
Period Talk is an educational health resource. Articles and educational guides published on this platform are thoroughly researched by qualified healthcare writers and fact-checked against primary clinical guidelines (ACOG, NHS, NICE, WHO, FOGSI). Content is tagged as Editorially Researched & Fact-Checked. Where formal clinician sign-off has been conducted by a licensed physician, explicit medical reviewer attribution is displayed. We never publish fake reviewer profiles or unverified clinical badges.
Our 3-Tier Content Verification Framework
1. Primary Source Selection & Research
Every topic begins with an exhaustive review of published evidence from accredited health institutions, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), National Health Service (NHS UK), National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), World Health Organization (WHO), and the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI).
2. Editorial Fact-Checking & Accuracy Audit
Our healthcare editorial team verifies all quantitative assertions (e.g. blood loss thresholds, hormone cycle day ranges, diagnostic criteria like Rotterdam for PCOS, DSM-5 for PMDD). Diagnostic boundaries and emergency red-flag warnings are explicitly highlighted.
3. Clinician Medical Review (When Assigned)
When a licensed medical doctor (Gynecologist, Adolescent Health Specialist, or Endocrinologist) performs formal clinical review, the page explicitly displays the physician’s full name, credentials, and review date.
Periodic Updates & Correction Audits
Medical science evolves. Our editorial team systematically reviews existing articles every 12 months, or immediately following significant updates to clinical practice guidelines. If you notice a factual discrepancy or outdated recommendation, please report it via our Contact & Feedback Channel or view our Corrections Policy.
