Researchers rename PCOS to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome during Women’s Health Month

PMOS is the new name for PCOS, reflecting its metabolic and endocrine nature rather than ovarian cysts.
The change aims to help patients receive more targeted care by focusing on endocrine and metabolic health.
An international concern is significant delays in diagnosis for PCOS, with many women waiting years for answers.
The World Health Organization estimates that 70% of people with this condition are undiagnosed.
Researchers emphasize PMOS affects hormones, weight, mental health, the reproductive system, and skin.
The renamed term is meant to improve public understanding during Women’s Health Month.
The story notes the condition affects about 170 million women worldwide.
