For decades, the term *Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS)* has been used to describe one of the most common hormonal disorders affecting women. However, many experts felt the name failed to capture the full complexity of the condition.
PCOS has now been renamed **PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome)** to better reflect its impact on multiple hormone systems, metabolism, and reproductive health.
While the name has changed, the goal remains the same: improving awareness, understanding, diagnosis, and care for the millions of people living with this condition.
