PCOS name change 'more representative of condition'
PCOS was renamed to PMOS to reflect a whole-body metabolic condition affecting more than 170 million women, improving understanding, diagnosis, and treatment.
What is PCOS, what are the symptoms and treatment, and why is it being renamed PMOS?
PMOS renames PCOS because ovarian “cysts” are actually follicles, and the condition involves broader metabolic and endocrine features beyond ovarian appearance.
