Useful answers before traffic, products or page count

HerSensi exists to help a girl or woman understand what is happening, make a safer practical decision and know what to do next. We do not publish a page merely because a keyword exists.

The HerSensi answer test

Before publication we ask: if search engines disappeared tomorrow, would this page still be worth showing directly to someone with this problem? If the answer is no, it needs more work or should not be a separate page.

Question-first structure

Pages lead with a short answer, then separate likely everyday explanations from situations that need assessment. Practical steps, “what not to do,” tracking and the professional-care boundary are included where useful.

Risk-based review

Everyday body-care content and pregnancy/medical content do not use the same publishing gate. See the medical review policy.

Sources and uncertainty

Health claims are grounded in authoritative sources and uncertainty is stated where symptoms overlap. See the sources & evidence policy.

Products are secondary to the answer

The correct answer may be a product, a technique change, no product, monitoring, a pharmacist, a clinician or urgent medical care. See our advertising and independence policy.

Corrections

We correct substantive errors and do not fake freshness by changing dates without reviewing the content. See our corrections policy.

Sensitive questions

Private and teen topics use respectful, anatomically accurate, non-shaming language. See our sensitive-topic standards.
