For years, the term "Polycystic O***y Syndrome" has caused confusion. Many patients think it’s only about ovarian cysts, but the medical community is moving toward a more accurate name: PMOS (Polycystic Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome).
Why the shift? The addition of the word Metabolic is crucial. It acknowledges that this condition involves insulin resistance, hormone imbalances, and metabolic health—not just what is happening on an ultrasound.
At Procreate Fertility Center, we stay at the forefront of these medical advancements to ensure our patients in Hampton Roads receive the most accurate information and tailored treatments. Whether we call it PCOS or PMOS, our goal remains the same: balancing your hormones and optimizing your health for your fertility journey.
