Editorial policy: how we write and review health content

Articles are written by the LuvoMen Editorial Team, or by a doctor from our clinical roster. When a doctor writes an article, the byline names them and links to their profile. We never credit an article to a person who is not on our roster.

Clinical articles about diagnosis, medicines or treatment are reviewed by a named doctor from our roster before they are published. The reviewer's name, qualifications and the date of the last review appear under the article headline and link to the doctor's profile.

Our roster has 21 doctors. 14 are based in India; only doctors registered with the National Medical Commission or a State Medical Council consult with or prescribe for patients in India. Doctors practising abroad sit on our international advisory panel.

Articles with no named medical reviewer are general wellness information. They are not a substitute for a consultation.

We base clinical statements on current guidance and evidence from:

• World Health Organization (WHO)
• Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and Government of India guidance, including the Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020
• American Urological Association (AUA)
• European Association of Urology (EAU)
• National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)
• Peer-reviewed journals indexed in PubMed, preferring systematic reviews and clinical guidelines

Clinical articles end with a references list. We do not cite product marketing, forums or unsourced claims as evidence.

• Claims that a product or treatment cures a condition permanently or guarantees results.
• Fictional testimonials, unverified ratings or invented statistics.
• Advice to start, stop or change a prescription medicine without a doctor.

Every clinical article is reviewed at least once every 12 months, and sooner when guidelines, medicine safety information or prices change. The "last reviewed" date shows when this last happened.

If you find an error, email contact@luvomen.com with the page address. A doctor checks clinical corrections. We fix confirmed errors promptly and update the review date.

We may use AI tools to help with research summaries, outlines or language editing. A person on our team checks every article, and clinical articles are approved by a named doctor before they are published. AI is never listed as an author or reviewer. The Ask Luvo assistant on our site gives general information only and is not a medical consultation.

LuvoMen is operated by LUVO Health Pvt. Ltd., which also sells wellness products and offers paid consultations. Articles may link to our own services. Commercial considerations do not change clinical advice, and articles describe options we do not sell where they are relevant.
