Editorial Policy

How we research, write, review and update everything you read here.

Perimeno publishes health information for women in perimenopause and menopause. That puts us in a category where being wrong has consequences, so this page sets out exactly how our articles are made — and what we do when we get something wrong.

What Perimeno is not

Perimeno provides educational information, not medical advice. Nothing here diagnoses a condition, recommends a treatment for you personally, or replaces a conversation with a clinician who knows your history. We describe what the evidence says in general; only your doctor can say what it means for you.

We also do not make predictive or causal claims about your individual data. When the app shows you a pattern, it is an observation about what you recorded — not a forecast and not a diagnosis.

Where our information comes from

Every article is built from current clinical guidance and peer-reviewed research. We give most weight to national and specialist guidelines, because they already represent an expert reading of the underlying studies:

• NICE — National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (UK)
• NHS clinical guidance
• The Menopause Society (formerly NAMS)
• ACOG — American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
• WHO — World Health Organization
• ESHRE — European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology

Where guidance is contested or still developing, we say so in the article rather than picking the tidier answer. Where the evidence is weak, we say that too — including for popular remedies that do not have good evidence behind them.

How an article is made

Research. We start from the guidelines above and the studies they rest on, not from other health websites.

Drafting. Articles are drafted with AI assistance, working from that source material. We think it is right to tell you this plainly rather than bury it. What AI does not do here is decide what is true: no draft reaches this site without a human reading it against the sources and taking responsibility for it.

Editorial review. Every article is checked by the Perimeno editorial team before publication — for accuracy against the cited guidance, for claims that overreach, and for the line between information and advice.

Clinical review. Where an article has been reviewed by a named clinician, that clinician's name and credentials appear in the byline, and nowhere else. If you do not see a named clinician on an article, it has not had clinical review — we would rather you knew that than assume it.

Keeping articles current

Menopause guidance changes. We review evidence-led articles at least every six months, and sooner when a major guideline is updated. Where an article carries a "Last reviewed" date, that date is when a human last checked it against current guidance — not when a typo was fixed.

Corrections

If we publish something inaccurate, we correct it and we do not quietly delete it. Material corrections are noted on the article. If you think something here is wrong, tell us atcustomersupport@perimeno.io — include the article and, if you have it, the guidance you think we have misread. Corrections from readers have a better record than most feedback we get.

Independence

Perimeno is free to use. We do not run ads, we do not accept sponsored content, and no commercial party pays to appear in or influence an article. We do not sell your data. If that ever changes, this page changes first.
