What is actually happening in PMOS (Polymetabolic Ovarian Syndrome)? 💙

In PMOS, the brain's hormone signalling becomes dysregulated. One hormone, LH, becomes relatively high, while another, FSH, does not provide enough support. This pushes the o***y towards producing androgens, hormones like testosterone, rather than reliably maturing and releasing an egg each month.

The follicles begin to develop but stall, a process called follicular arrest, which produces the distinctive ultrasound appearance associated with the condition.

This can lead to irregular or absent ovulation, infrequent periods, elevated androgen levels, acne (particularly on the jawline and chin), facial or body hair growth, scalp hair thinning, and difficulty conceiving.

But this is still only part of the story. The metabolic side of PMOS is just as important, and understanding the full picture is key to managing it well.

If you have noticed any of these symptoms, we are here to help.

Growing pains in your teenager? Here is what is actually going on. 💙

Aches and pains around the knees, heels, and back are really common during growth spurts. As the body grows quickly, muscles and tendons can get tight, leading to discomfort, especially with sport and activity. 🏃‍♂️

Common culprits we see:
🦵 Knee pain from sports
👣 Heel pain
🏃 Overuse injuries

Often made worse by high activity, poor footwear, or sudden increases in exercise. 😣

The good news? Most of these settle well with simple measures:
✅ Rest
✅ Stretching
✅ Gradual return to activity
✅ Pain relief when needed

If your teenager has ongoing pain, swelling, or it is stopping them from doing what they love, it is always worth getting checked. We can assess, advise, and refer for physio or imaging if needed. 💛

There is so much that happens to women's health during menopause that simply does not get talked about. 💙

When oestrogen starts to decline, cholesterol can rise quietly in the background, blood sugar becomes harder to manage, and fatigue and anxiety increase — often with no outward signs at all. You could be in a completely lean body and have quite high cholesterol without knowing it.

And then there is muscle. Muscle is one of the most important indicators of long-term health — linked to blood sugar control, bone strength, fall risk, and independence as we age. But it cannot be seen in a blood test. That is where our body composition scanning comes in.

At Essex Private Doctors, we combine early metabolic screening with body composition analysis to catch these changes before they become serious problems. Then we build a genuinely personalised plan around your nutrition, movement, and supplements.

The risk starts in your thirties and forties. The time to act is now. 💛

A personal note from Dr Tom Robson 💙

This July, Tom and ten of his old friends are cycling 270 miles from Exeter to Brentwood over three days — in memory of Mike Polden, a great friend they lost to cardiomyopathy 25 years ago this year.

Mike went to university in Exeter and to school at Brentwood School. Those two cities felt like the right place to start and end the journey. His old schoolmates haven't forgotten him.

They're raising money for Cardiomyopathy UK, who do excellent work funding research and supporting patients and families affected by this condition.

If you'd like to donate, visit http://justgiving.com/page/tom-robson-1?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign&utm_content=ap_qwlwlkzqzl — any contribution would mean a great deal. And if you'd like to learn more about cardiomyopathy, http://cardiomyopathy.org?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign&utm_content=ap_8uvtc0prj5 is a brilliant resource.

Have you heard of cardiomyopathy? 🫀 Most people haven't, but it affects 1 in 250 people and is one of the leading causes of sudden cardiac death in young people. 💔

It is a condition of the heart muscle that affects how well your heart pumps blood around the body. And the good news? It can be detected early and treated. 💙

Symptoms to look out for:
😴 Unexplained tiredness
😵 Dizziness
😮 Shortness of breath
💛 Chest pain
🦶 Swollen ankles
💓 An unusual feeling of your heart beating

Also worth knowing, if you have a family history of heart disease, cardiomyopathy, or sudden unexplained death, it is worth getting checked. 🙏

At Essex Private Doctors, we can assess your heart with a full clinical examination and ECG, and refer you to a local cardiologist if needed. 🩺

For more information, visit Cardiomyopathy UK at cardiomyopathy.org - a brilliant charity doing incredible work. 💛

Men's Health Week runs from 15th to 21st June 2026 — and it is a reminder we all need. 💙
