PCOS Renamed PMOS to Reflect Complex Hormonal and Metabolic Condition

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), affecting over 170 million people globally including 44 million in India, has been renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovary syndrome (PMOS) to better reflect its complex hormonal and metabolic nature. The change, resulting from a 14-year research effort, aims to improve diagnosis and care by acknowledging multisystem involvement beyond ovarian cysts, including insulin resistance, hormonal imbalances, and cardiovascular risks.
