🚨PMOS🚨
After 14 years of global collaboration, it is now official.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) has been formally renamed PMOS: Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome.
More than 56 patient and professional organizations worldwide, including the Endocrine Society, were part of this change. Over 22,000 women shared their experiences to make it happen.
The old name reduced a complex, whole-body condition to a misunderstanding about cysts. Research now confirms there is no actual increase in abnormal ovarian cysts in the condition at all.
PMOS better reflects what women have been living with: hormonal fluctuations affecting weight, metabolism, mental health, skin, and the reproductive system. And here is the part that says everything: an estimated 70% of women who have it don't even know.
But make no mistake. This is a landmark moment for women's health. 💛
