PCOS is now called PMOS 'Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome'.

The new name better reflects what patients have been saying for years: this is a complex hormonal and metabolic condition that can affect the entire body.

PMOS recognizes the connections between:
• Hormones & insulin resistance
• Metabolism & weight changes
• Fertility & menstrual health
• Skin & hair symptoms
• Mental and emotional wellbeing

The goal of renaming PCOS to PMOS is to:
• Improve awareness and understanding that this is a whole-body condition — not just about ovarian cysts
• Encourage earlier diagnosis
• Promote holistic and long-term care
• Reduce stigma and misconceptions
• Emphasize metabolic health, not just fertility

This change aims to help patients better understand their condition and receive more comprehensive care. 🩷

PCOS has a new name! --PMOS.
