PCOS Indaga is an educational website and companion app for people with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. This page explains how our content is written, where it comes from, and the standards we hold it to.
Who writes this content
The education library on this site and inside the app — the facts, the symptom pages, and the Learn articles — is written and edited by the PCOS Indaga team as part of building an evidence-based companion app. We are an independent, small team. We are not a hospital, clinic, or medical practice, and we are not funded by supplement or pharmaceutical companies. None of our content is written to sell supplements, medications, or third-party services.
What this content is
This website is an educational reference. It collects what published research says about PCOS symptoms, prevalence, treatments, and lifestyle, and presents it as clearly sourced summaries rather than opinions. Every statistic on the Facts and Symptoms pages names the journal, study, or clinical guideline it comes from, and every article in the Learn library ends with a list of its sources. The website is generated from the same content library that powers the app's education section, so what you read here matches what the app teaches.
How we choose sources
Our facts and articles are based on published, peer-reviewed research and major clinical guidelines for PCOS — including the international evidence-based guideline for the assessment and management of PCOS (Teede et al., 2018), the Endocrine Society's clinical practice guideline (2018), and the World Health Organization's PCOS prevalence estimates (2025), alongside studies published in journals such as Human Reproduction Update, the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, and Fertility and Sterility.
We prefer large, recent, or widely cited studies and guideline-endorsed figures over isolated small studies. Where the evidence is mixed, we say so: we report ranges (for example, 60-80%) when that is what the research shows, and we flag open questions instead of presenting uncertainty as settled fact.
What we do not do
- Our content is for education only. It is not medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment plan.
- We do not make personalized recommendations. Only a qualified clinician who knows your full situation can do that.
- We do not promise cures or quick fixes. PCOS is a manageable and often treatable condition — but no single supplement, diet, or product fixes it.
- We do not repeat miracle-cure claims. Published research shows that a large share of PCOS content on social media is misleading, and this site is deliberately the opposite of that.
Independence
The website and the app carry no advertising, no affiliate links, and no sponsored content. PCOS Indaga's only revenue is the app's optional subscription. When our articles discuss supplements or medications, the selection reflects published evidence — not payment, partnerships, or placement. We have no commercial relationship with any supplement brand or pharmaceutical company.
Corrections and updates
Every content page on this site displays the date it was last updated. Content is revised when new evidence warrants it, and because the website is generated from the same content library as the app, updates ship to both together. If you believe a statistic, source, or statement on this site is wrong or out of date, please tell us and we will review it promptly.
