AIIMS Delhi Screening Finds Menstrual Irregularities and PMOS in Adolescent Girls
A school-based screening program by AIIMS Delhi involving over 4,000 adolescent girls across seven schools found nearly 20% reported menstrual irregularities, with an estimated 3-5% potentially having polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), formerly known as PCOS. Experts note that menstrual cycles can be variable after menarche, but persistent irregularities warrant medical evaluation. The condition affects metabolic and endocrine health beyond reproductive symptoms, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and holistic care.
