PCOS renamed PMOS as experts recognise the condition is far broader than ovaries

Experts have decided to replace the name PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) with the new term PMOS — polyendocrine-metabolic-ovarian syndrome. The change reflects the reality that the condition affects far more than the ovaries, with complex endocrine and metabolic dimensions. PCOS/PMOS is one of the most common gynaecological diagnoses among women of reproductive age.
