PCOS (PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome) is being renamed PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome)!
I wasn't even aware this renaming was underway, but it's good to see the info, discussions, clarifications around misconceptions. For a chronic condition affecting 1 in 8 women worldwide, a name that more accurately reflects the nature and experience will hopefully bring better awareness, understanding, and treatment 🙏
