What we use, and what we do not infer.

Greenlaxo uses public, attributable health and legal sources for core claims. A source can explain a condition; it cannot diagnose the person reading it.

Clinical overview

National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)

Used for prostatitis categories, symptoms, diagnostic overview, treatment differences and urgent-care warning signs.

Official source ↗
Patient guidance

NHS — Prostatitis

Used as a secondary patient-facing reference for common symptoms and the importance of seeking medical care for prostatitis symptoms.

Official source ↗
Kenya privacy

Office of the Data Protection Commissioner

Used for Kenya's Data Protection Act 2019, General Regulations 2021, data-subject rights and guidance on health data.

ODPC framework ↗
Kenya law

Health Act, 2017

Referenced for the Kenyan legal context around health information and confidentiality. Greenlaxo is an educational site, not a healthcare provider.

Our source rule

We do not turn a general association into a personal diagnosis.

If a source says stress may be associated with chronic pelvic pain, that does not mean stress caused a reader's symptoms. If a source says antibiotics treat bacterial prostatitis, that does not mean a reader should start antibiotics without diagnosis and prescribing.

Where evidence is uncertain or mixed, the wording should remain uncertain too.
