PCOS has a new name: PMOS, or polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome. 🔬

The update reflects what we now know. This condition involves hormones, metabolism, mental health and more, not just the ovaries.

A more accurate name can help support better diagnoses, reduce stigma and strengthen research. If you have questions about PMOS, our care teams are here to help. 🩷
