PCOS Is Now PMOS: Here's What That Means for You In May, The Lancet published new international guidelines that renamed polycystic ovarian syndrome to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS). The new name reflects what we've understood clinically for years: this is a complex hormonal and metabolic condition, not simply a problem with ovarian cysts. PMOS affects roughly 1 in 10 women worldwide, yet many still go years without a diagnosis or receive treatment focused on only one part of the condition. The updated criteria are designed to improve recognition and encourage more complete care. In our latest article, we break down what actually qualifies as a PMOS diagnosis now, why gut health and inflammation are central drivers rather than side notes, diets with the strongest evidence, and supplements worth considering, including one that performed as well as metformin in a recent analysis. |
