Fantastic ongoing global media interest, high impact publications and professional society endorsements of the name change from PCOS to PMOS! Awareness is the first step to set the foundation for our journey to improve clinical care, education, research and policy related to PMOS
PCOS has been renamed PMOS - Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. See our correspondence in @NatureMedicine

🤝 Women with the condition were the biggest drivers to change the name through their voices and advocacy. Doctors and health professionals strongly supported the change, with benefits believed to outweigh the risks.
