PCOS has a new name.

This past May, an international group of researchers, clinicians and patients formally renamed polycystic o***y syndrome. It is now PMOS — polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome.

The old name pointed at cysts. Those cysts are not always there, and they were never really the problem. What this condition actually affects is hormones and metabolism throughout the body — periods, blood sugar, cholesterol, skin, hair, fertility, mood. The new name finally says that out loud.

Nothing about how it is diagnosed or treated has changed. Your chart and your insurance will say PCOS for years yet.

But if you have ever been told your ovaries look "a little polycystic" and left the office without answers, this one is for you.

September is PCOS Awareness Month, and we will be posting about it all month.

❓ ASK THE GYNECOLOGIST

“Is vaginal dryness just something I have to live with after menopause?”

The short answer: No! 🌸

Vaginal changes, including dryness and discomfort, are common right before, during, and after menopause—but common does not mean you simply have to live with it.

Symptoms may include:
🌸 Dryness or irritation
🔥 Burning or discomfort
❤️ Pain with intimacy
🚻 Urinary symptoms

The good news? There are treatment options. The right choice depends on your symptoms, medical history, and individual needs.

💬 If something doesn’t feel right, come see us. Sometimes the questions women hesitate to ask are the ones we most need to talk about.

Texas summer heat can become dangerous quickly—and knowing the warning signs could save a life.

🥵 HEAT EXHAUSTION may cause:
💦 Heavy sweating

🧠 Confusion or altered mental status
🚶 Loss of coordination
😵 Fainting or unconsciousness

🕐 Limit strenuous outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day

🩺 July 13 — Medical Myth Monday

MYTH: "I'd know if I had high blood pressure."

This is a myth because many patients genuinely believe they would have a headache, dizziness, or some other warning sign.
