How our guides are made

• Each guide starts from the questions our patients actually ask, and opens with a short, direct answer.
• Claims are checked against current clinical guidelines — chiefly the American Urological Association, the European Association of Urology, the Endocrine Society, the WHO and the NHS — and each guide lists the sources it relies on.
• A registered doctor reviews every guide for medical accuracy before it is published, and again whenever it is updated. The review date is shown on each page.
• We avoid promises of guaranteed or permanent cures. Individual results vary, and treatment is only ever prescribed after a doctor's consultation.
• Every guide is available in English, Hindi and Hinglish, with the same medical content in each.

What our guides are not

They are general health information, not a diagnosis or a prescription. Pramaan Health does not sell or dispense medicines; any prescription from a consultation can be filled at a licensed pharmacy of your choice.
