Editorial Policy

Last updated: September 7, 2026

Prostate-Treatment-Options.com is committed to providing clear, evidence-based and clinically responsible patient education about enlarged prostate (BPH), urinary symptoms, prostate testing, medications, procedures, prostatitis, prostate cancer and related men’s health topics.

This Editorial Policy explains how medical content on the website is created, reviewed, sourced, updated and corrected.

Our Editorial Purpose

Our goal is to help patients understand prostate-related symptoms, medical terminology, diagnostic tests and treatment options so they can have better-informed discussions with their own healthcare professionals.

The website provides education rather than individualized medical diagnosis or treatment selection.

Medical Leadership

The founder and lead medical author of Prostate-Treatment-Options.com is Dr. Albana Greca, MD, MMedSc, Family Physician / General Practitioner.

Her editorial focus includes enlarged prostate, urinary symptoms, PSA and prostate testing, medications, lifestyle measures, treatment pathways, patient safety and recognition of situations where specialist urological care may be required.

Professional Scope

Prostate-Treatment-Options.com approaches prostate health primarily from a family-medicine and patient-education perspective.

Specialist procedures and surgical treatment may be explained for educational purposes, but individualized decisions about procedures such as TURP, HoLEP, Rezūm, UroLift, Aquablation or prostate cancer treatment belong with the treating urologist, oncologist or other appropriate specialist.

Evidence and Sources

Medical claims are reviewed against appropriate authoritative and primary sources whenever possible. These may include:

• clinical guidelines from recognized professional organizations;
• government and public-health agencies;
• peer-reviewed medical research;
• major academic and medical institutions;
• recognized evidence-based medical references.

Recent articles on the website reference sources such as the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the National Cancer Institute, European Association of Urology guidance, and current BPH clinical guidelines. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Benefits, Risks and Limitations

Treatment information should not present potential benefits without also considering meaningful risks, side effects, limitations, contraindications, uncertainty, or situations where further medical assessment may be necessary.

Supplements and Alternative Treatments

Herbal products, supplements, dietary approaches and alternative treatments are assessed according to the available evidence.

We do not present unproven products or lifestyle approaches as guaranteed cures for BPH, prostate cancer, prostatitis or other medical conditions.

Medical Review

Medical content may be written and/or medically reviewed by an appropriately qualified physician where indicated.

Review considers clinical accuracy, patient safety, balance, important limitations, warning signs and whether a reader could reasonably misunderstand the information.

Publication and Updates

Medical knowledge changes over time. Important articles may be reviewed and updated when new clinical guidelines, evidence, safety information or treatment recommendations become available.

Where appropriate, pages display publication, modification or medical-review dates.

Corrections

If we identify a factual, medical or editorial error, we aim to correct it promptly.

Readers who believe they have found an error may contact us through our Contact Us page and provide the URL and details of the concern.

Editorial Independence

Medical conclusions should be determined by the available evidence and patient-education needs, not by advertising relationships, commercial interests or promotional considerations.

Use of Artificial Intelligence

Digital and artificial-intelligence tools may be used to assist with tasks such as research organization, drafting, editing, technical publishing or content management.

These tools do not replace physician judgment. Responsibility for clinical claims, medical interpretation and published patient guidance remains with the identified human medical author or reviewer where one is named.
