Polycystic Ovary Syndrome renamed to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome this September
- PCOS has been given a new name: polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome PMOS, to better reflect its wider health impact.
- The change aims to highlight that PMOS is linked not just to reproductive health but also to metabolic health.
- Experts say the new name could help doctors recognise the condition more broadly and improve diagnosis and treatment.
- The shift comes as September focuses on raising awareness about PMOS, encouraging a wider understanding of the condition and its long-term health effects.
