What is PMOS and why does understanding it matter?

Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), formerly known as PCOS or polycystic o***y syndrome, is the most common hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age. Yet despite how common it is, PMOS is often underdiagnosed, leaving many women searching for answers about their symptoms and health.

Our latest blog, “PMOS 101: Understanding the Most Common Hormonal Disorder in Women,” breaks down what PMOS is, why it can be difficult to diagnose, and why understanding this systemic condition is an important first step toward managing it.

Whether you're newly exploring your symptoms or looking to better understand a diagnosis, knowledge matters.

Uterine cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer in the United States, yet it doesn’t always get the attention it deserves.

Knowing the signs can make a difference. Uterine cancer has a recognizable warning sign, and when changes are taken seriously and evaluated promptly, it can often be diagnosed early.

So, what symptoms should you watch for? Who may be at higher risk? And when is it time to see your OB/GYN?

Severe period pain isn't something you should have to simply "push through."

Many women experience symptoms of endometriosis for years before receiving a diagnosis, not because the condition is uncommon, but because symptoms are often mistaken for typical menstrual discomfort.

Persistent pelvic pain, painful periods, heavy bleeding, pain during in*******se, or difficulty with fertility can all be signs that deserve a closer look. Understanding the symptoms is the first step toward getting the answers and support you need.

Our latest blog covers:
• Common signs and symptoms of endometriosis
• Why diagnosis can take years
• When to talk with your OB/GYN about your concerns

📌 Our latest blog covers:
• Which vaccines teens and tweens may need before school starts
• Why the HPV vaccine is an important part of preventive healthcare

July is Fibroids Awareness Month, and our latest blog on Association Women’s Health Care highlights an issue that deserves urgent attention in women’s health: the disproportionate impact of uterine fibroids on Black women.

Research shows Black women are 2–3x more likely to develop uterine fibroids, often at younger ages and with more severe symptoms. Too often, this leads to delayed diagnosis and more invasive treatment paths, raising important questions about access, equity, and earlier intervention in care.

Understanding these disparities is essential to improving outcomes and advancing real change in women’s healthcare.
