I am SO HAPPY for my patients who have been made to feel that they just need to “try harder” with their weight loss.

PMOS was NEVER about the ovaries.

PCOS is now PMOS. Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) is the new name for the condition previously known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) — a change that accurately reflects the condition, which affects 1 in 8 women, or more than 170+ million worldwide. The changes follow 14 years of research and advocacy and the largest global engagement ever for a medical name change, with more than 22,000 survey responses, workshops with women who have lived experience, health professionals, and the involvement of 56 patient organisations and professional societies around the world. The term PCOS focused on “cysts” and ovaries, even though women don’t have cysts. PMOS is a long term endocrine/ hormonal and metabolic condition, and the misunderstanding has contributed to delayed diagnosis, poor quality of care and lack of research and funding. Women living with the condition led the call for change — and their voices matter ❤️ The change to PMOS will improve understanding, awareness, earlier diagnosis, better care and more research. We recognise that this change will take time and there is a 3 year transition period where both names will co-exist together - the work doesn’t stop here!

Dr Madhuri Patil, president-elect of the Indian Society for Assisted Reproduction and one of the clinicians involved, said the inclusion of “metabolic” in the new name is especially relevant given India’s high rates of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance.
