✨ BIG NEWS in women’s health ✨

PCOS (Polycystic O***y Syndrome) is officially being renamed to PMOS — Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome.

Why the change? Because this condition is about so much more than “ovarian cysts.” Many women with PCOS don’t actually have cysts at all. 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

For many women, this change feels validating — and hopefully it will lead to better awareness, earlier diagnosis, and more comprehensive care.

No matter what it’s called, one thing remains true: your symptoms are real, and you deserve to be heard and supported.

A supportive workplace plays a key role in one's ability to successfully breastfeed. When parents and infants are given the support they need, their health and well-being flourish. By removing barriers and reducing stress, we can create an environment where parents can thrive. Workplaces that prioritize lactation accommodations benefit as well, boasting lower employee turnover, higher productivity, and fewer days of work missed. Studies even show that every dollar invested in thoughtful lactation policies and accommodations yields a two to threefold return.

Breastfeeding has been linked to a lower risk of breast and ovarian cancer. It reduces lifetime exposure to estrogen, delays ovulation, and promotes healthy breast cell differentiation, all factors that work together to help protect against cancer. The longer a parent breastfeeds, the greater the protective effect.
