Accuracy, sourcing, and how to reach us
Accuracy & relevance
Our medical review board continuously reviews, updates, and fact-checks our content. We feature the reviewing doctor’s name and the last-updated date at the top of every page, so you know exactly how current the information is.
Spot something that looks outdated? Email us at editor@menstrualportal.com, and we’ll take a look.
References & citations
We source primarily from peer-reviewed medical journals, government health agencies like the CDC and FDA, professional bodies like ACOG, and established clinical guidelines, rather than forums or secondhand summaries.
Every article lists its full sources in a References section at the end, so you can trace any claim back to where it came from.
