How articles are reviewed
Every article is read and signed off before it goes live, and reviewed again at least once a year. An earlier review takes place whenever new evidence changes how a condition is treated. The "Last reviewed" date on each page shows when the most recent check was made.
What this site is — and isn't
These pages inform. They do not diagnose. They explain conditions and procedures in general terms, so you arrive at the clinic a few steps ahead. Personal advice is different. That needs a doctor who has seen you, heard your story, and examined you.
