PCOS is now being called PMOS — Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome — after experts said the old name misunderstood a condition that affects far more than just the ovaries.

The change follows 14 years of global research and consultation with doctors, researchers and women living with the condition. Experts say the term “PCOS” wrongly focused on ovarian “cysts,” even though the disorder is deeply linked to hormonal, metabolic and reproductive health. The new terminology aims to improve awareness, diagnosis and long-term care for millions of women worldwide.
