A condition that impacts millions of women is getting a new name. Polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, a reproductive hormone imbalance, will now be known as polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, or PMOS for short.
The condition formerly known as PCOS is now PMOS, reflecting its complex endocrine nature. The change aims to improve diagnosis and treatment for over 170 million women globally.
Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, or PMOS, will now be used to describe the condition that affects around one in eight women.
