PCOS is now PMOS?? What does that mean?

In this short but sweet class, I'm breaking down the name change of PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) to PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome). I discuss why changing the name matters, how it redefines the condition beyond the ovaries, and what it could mean for diagnosis, treatment, and patient care going forward.

In This Class, We Discuss:
  • Why names matter: How medical terminology shapes diagnosis, research funding, and patient care.
  • Deconstructing PMOS: Decoding the new acronym and why "cysts" were always a misleading requirement.
  • A Systemic condition: Looking beyond reproductive health to insulin resistance, metabolic health, and comorbid diseases.
  • Clinical impact: How the new framing shifts care from reductionist symptom-chasing to multidisciplinary treatment.
  • Stigma & inclusivity: Tackling weight stigma, assumptions about the cycle, and advocating for compassionate care.
