The hospital
This site is published by Chongqing West District Hospital, a tertiary general hospital at 301 Huafu Avenue North Section, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing. Every reference to the hospital on this site means that institution, and the treating team practises within it.
Editorial standards
Content on this site is written for patients, reviewed by a named clinician before publication, and dated. Claims that cannot be supported are removed rather than softened. Where a question has no settled answer, the site says so instead of choosing a side for convenience.
Advertising and claims
This site does not present medicines or devices by brand name, does not publish prices or discounts, and does not use countdowns, scarcity or outcome guarantees. It does not describe an abdominal repair as painless, scarless or risk-free, and it does not present a garment, a cream or a training programme as a way of closing a separation. It is written so that a reasonable reader can decide against treatment after reading it.
Symptoms routed away from aesthetic care
Where a midline bulge may be a hernia, or where it comes with pain, vomiting or a lump that will not reduce, the site states that this is a medical matter and names the symptoms that require urgent or emergency assessment. That routing takes precedence over any cosmetic content on the page it appears on.
Patient privacy and reporting a concern
No patient photographs, identifying details or case histories are published on this site without documented consent. If you believe something published here is inaccurate, misleading or non-compliant, tell the hospital administration line; corrections that are justified are made and the review date is updated.
