🌸As of May 12, 2026, Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) has been officially renamed to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS).

🌸The term PMOS will now be used instead of PCOS. This condition is complex and is not only about cysts in the ovaries, several women with the condition do not actually have cysts.
The new name helps us focus more on the hormonal and metabolic changes happening in the body .These include irregular periods, difficulty with ovulation, acne, excess hair growth, weight changes, insulin resistance, and fertility challenges. The condition also affects mental and emotional well being and is associated with recurrent miscarriages, developing Hypertension and DM as well as endometrial cancer in the long term.

🌸PMOS is not just a fertility condition or a problem of the ovaries. It is a lifelong hormonal and metabolic condition that can affect periods, skin, fertility, pregnancy, weight, and long-term health at different stages of a woman’s life.
