🚨PCOS has officially been renamed PMOS - Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. And honestly? I think this is a huge step in the right direction. I’ve been talking about how badly PCOS needed a name change for years, because the old name has caused so much confusion. The “cysts” were never actually cysts in the way most people think of them. They were immature follicles. And PCOS was never just about the ovaries. It’s hormonal. It’s metabolic. It can impact your cycles, skin, hair, fertility, mood, insulin, energy and long-term health. I do think PMOS will take some getting used to, and I worry it sounds a little too close to PMS. But overall, I’m hopeful this change will help women be taken more seriously and receive more complete care. Because this condition has always deserved better than “just lose weight and go on the pill.”
