PCOS is now PMOS: Why the name change and what it means
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is now known as polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) following a name change aimed at improving diagnosis and care. Experts state the former name was misleading, focusing on cysts rather than the complex hormonal and metabolic issues. PMOS affects weight, mental health, and fertility, with lifestyle changes and medication offering treatment.
