"With 30 or 40 years of research, we've realized that this is more about hormones and metabolism, not just about the ovary."
Dr. Donna Vine explains to CBC News that the name change from PCOS to PMOS will increase understanding, resulting in better care.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is now known as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS).
In our Pathways to Care for PCOS-PMOS in Alberta, assessing cardiometabolic risk at diagnosis is the key to better care: https://t.co/DQtK8ut4aF
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
A recent paper affirms that a PMOS diagnosis should be made in adolescents with clear + persistent evidence of HA & menstrual irregularity. Those with 1 feature are at ⬆️ risk & should be followed longitudinally to minimize under- & over-diagnosis. https://t.co/1UZlc63xBN
On May 12, at #ECE2026, global experts and patient advocacy groups announced a major renaming of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), to reflect the multisystem nature of the disorder @veritypcos

CSEM supports the global name change: PCOS → PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome). Published in The Lancet. Affects 1 in 8 women worldwide. A better name = better awareness, diagnosis & care. 🔬

Sharing our recent publication demonstrating a link between #psychological and #metabolic health in #pcos. Depression, Anxiety, and Risk of Metabolic Syndrome in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Longitudinal Study https://t.co/eG48sX3JJx @aepcossociety @veritypcos
Now, new understanding of a health condition affecting millions of women.
An estimated 1 in 10 women worldwide live with a hormonal disorder long known as PCOS — polycystic ovary syndrome. But the condition is getting a new name.
And as @thestephsy reports, the change is about far more than terminology. Supporters say it could lead to better diagnosis, treatment and care.
A patient-partner asked about menopause and #PMOS/#PCOS.
Good news, 'Women with PCOS have a later menopausal transition and a lower prevalence of menopausal symptoms at age 46: A population-based birth cohort study.'

This large nationwide population-based study showed an increased risk of multiple reproductive cancers in reproductive age women w/ polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome PMOS (formerly polycystic ovary syndrome PCOS) compared to those without PMOS/PCOS.

Thanks to our #PCOS-#PMOS Together team in joining the #RunForWomen. Women with #PMOS have increased risk of anxiety-depression as they learn about their diagnosis and how to manage it everyday; need for multidiscplinary care is so important.
