How guides are written
Each guide is prepared by the WM Health Editorial Team. We aim for clear, calm and practical language, and we avoid alarming wording. We do not publish prices, success rates or guarantees in these guides.
Content standards
Our guides help you understand a health topic before you speak with a physician. They offer general information in plain language. They do not replace a medical consultation.
Last updated:
Medical review
Before a medical guide is published, a physician from our network reviews it. The reviewing physician is shown on the article together with the date of the last review. If the content of an article changes after a review, it is sent for review again.
Sources
Medical statements are based on recognised public health and clinical sources, such as international health organisations, national health services and professional societies. Each guide lists its references with the date we last accessed them.
Updates & corrections
We review our guides regularly. If you notice an error or an out-of-date statement, please contact us and we will check it.
