šReady to accidentally call it PCOS for a few months? I am! Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome has been renamed to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS).
āØIt is fantastic that the modern medical community is finally catching up to idea that this is a whole body, multi-system condition. Chinese Medicine has known that for a few centuries or so..
š« The O in the old name often led to years of confusion and delayed diagnoses for those who didnāt have cysts on a scan. By shifting the focus to Polyendocrine and Metabolic, the new name acknowledges the complex reality of the condition, things like insulin resistance, hormonal fluctuations, and mental health.āØāØPMOS will be being fully implemented in the International Guideline by 2028.
While the label is shifting, my approach in the clinic remains exactly the same: providing individualised care that looks at the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Want some help with your PC, I mean PMOS? āØ(Sorry about that š
