PCOS (Polycystic O***y Syndrome) is now recognised as PMOS - Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome.
A change supported by international experts and long-term clinical research, the evolving terminology reflects a broader understanding that the condition can affect multiple systems across the body, including hormones, metabolism, insulin resistance, skin health, mood, weight, and reproductive health.
In some cases, it may also be associated with sleep disturbances, difficulty managing blood sugar levels, or increased long-term metabolic health risks.
If symptoms persist or begin affecting your daily life, consulting a gynaecologist early can help support better long-term health management and personalised care.
