Editorial policy

How we create, review, and maintain health content at Veedma.

Our mission

Veedma publishes evidence-based men's health content to help men make informed decisions about testosterone, hormones, longevity, fitness, and sexual health. Our goal is to separate diagnosis from hype and give readers the clinical context they need before talking to a provider.

How we write

Our editorial team uses AI-assisted research tools to draft articles. Every draft goes through a structured process before publication:

  1. Research and drafting. Articles are drafted using AI tools that pull from medical literature, clinical guidelines, and peer-reviewed studies. The AI assists with research synthesis, not with clinical judgment.
  2. Clinical rules. Vladimir Kotlov, MD, urologist, CEO and founder of Veedma, sets the clinical rules every article is written and checked against: diagnostic criteria, decision thresholds, which treatments Veedma offers and which it only explains, and how evidence is cited. Knowledge base articles start from his written clinical briefs.
  3. Automated checks. Before publication, validators check the structure, apply the clinical rules, verify that every PubMed reference exists and matches the claim it supports, and flag AI-generated filler language, sentence repetition, promotional bias in clinical sections, and any quotation attributed to a named person. Articles that fail these checks are revised or not published.
  4. Periodic human review. Published articles are re-checked periodically, and he reviews articles on request and when a reader reports an error. No person reads every article before it is published; our automated checks catch structure, references and rule violations, not every possible medical error.

Evidence standards

We use major clinical guidelines and higher-quality evidence as the backbone of our content:

  • European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines
  • American Urological Association (AUA) diagnostic framework
  • Endocrine Society clinical practice guidelines
  • Randomized controlled trials (e.g., TRAVERSE, Testosterone Trials)
  • European Male Ageing Study (EMAS) population data
  • PubMed-indexed peer-reviewed studies

All clinical articles include inline citations linked to PubMed. We prioritize systematic reviews and randomized trials over observational studies and expert opinion. When evidence is limited or conflicting, we say so explicitly.

What we do not do

  • We do not diagnose or treat any individual. Our content is educational.
  • We do not recommend treatments outside established clinical guidelines.
  • We do not accept sponsored content or allow advertisers to influence editorial decisions.
  • We do not use promotional language in clinical sections of articles.

Article types

We publish three types of content:

  • Knowledge base articles are deep-dive clinical guides covering specific conditions, tests, and treatments with full references. They are written from clinical briefs by Vladimir Kotlov, MD, using AI-assisted drafting, and published under his name.
  • Hub pages are topic overviews that link to related knowledge base articles, giving readers a structured entry point into a subject.
  • Blog posts are written by Veedma's editorial team using AI-assisted research, under the clinical rules above. They cover fitness, nutrition, supplements, longevity, and men's health topics with a practical, evidence-based approach. They do not contain quotations from Vladimir Kotlov, MD or any other named person unless the quote comes from a cited source.

Corrections and updates

Medical knowledge evolves. We review published articles periodically and update them when new evidence changes clinical recommendations. If you find an error or have a correction, contact us and we will review it promptly.

Clinical lead

Vladimir Kotlov, MD is the founder and CEO of Veedma. With a medical background in urology and past clinical leadership in IVF, he brings deep expertise in male hormone optimization and fertility to the health-tech space. He sets the clinical rules every article on Veedma is written and checked against, writes the briefs behind the knowledge base, and reviews published articles periodically and on request.
