PCOS has officially been renamed 🙌🏻
It’s now called PMOS, Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome.
And the reason behind the change? The old name was actually misleading. It implied the main problem was cysts on your ovaries. But cysts aren’t even present in every case, and the condition is so much bigger than that.
PMOS affects your hormones, your metabolism, your blood sugar, your skin, your mood, your sleep, your mental health. It is a whole-body condition that just happens to involve the ovaries.
The new name finally reflects that.
For every woman who spent years being dismissed, told her labs were normal, or made to feel like she was overreacting, this rename is validation. The condition was always bigger than what it was being called.
If you’ve been dealing with irregular cycles, hair thinning, acne, stubborn weight, anxiety, brain fog, or just a general feeling that something is off hormonally, this applies to you. And I’ve been there!
