In 1935, two American doctors examined seven women's ovaries and saw small lumps. They called them cysts and named the disease after them. They were wrong. It took 91 years to fix.

What we called PCOS is now Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), announced today in The Lancet by an international panel of doctors and patients. The renaming followed more than a decade of consensus work and 22,000 patient and clinician survey responses.

The lumps Stein and Leventhal saw were never cysts. Modern imaging shows they were follicles, the tiny sacs inside the ovary that grow and release an egg each month, frozen partway through by a hormonal imbalance. PMOS is a multi-system disorder centered in the endocrine system, the body's network of glands that produces hormones like insulin (controls blood sugar), cortisol (the stress hormone), and thyroid hormones (set the body's metabolism). The ovary trouble flows downstream from there.

The naming choice is not academic. When doctors hear "ovary" in a diagnosis, they look at the ovary. "Metabolic" and "endocrine" send them to the whole body.

PMOS affects roughly 1 in 8 women worldwide, more than 170 million people. The WHO estimates 70% have never been diagnosed. Among those who do, 1 in 3 wait more than 2 years, and nearly half see 3 or more doctors first. The CDC reports more than half of women with PMOS develop type 2 diabetes by age 40, a risk 5 to 10 times higher than women without the condition. Around 37% have clinically significant depression, compared with 14% in women without it. Anxiety runs at 42% versus 8.5%.

A label born from a 1935 look at seven ovaries is finally going away. The new diagnostic guidelines roll out fully in 2028. By then, a woman walking into a clinic with these symptoms should hear questions about her blood sugar and her mood alongside her cycle. Those are the parts of the disease the old name hid for 91 years.

Your 20s are for realizing that all your grandiose life plans pale in comparison to having people you really like being around

For those who missed it: this was the moment The Strokes ensured they’ll never set foot in Coachella again! I'm so proud of them #Strokeschella

Women are out here sharing live locations, checking the backseats of cars, and holding their hands over their drinks. Men are doing 3 hour podcasts about how unfair it is that we don't smile at them. The disconnect is fatal.

I was 14 when he joined us. And he leaves us when I’m 23. That’s GCSEs, A levels, getting a degree and a job😭
Childhood was Torres and Gerrard, but Mo was there through teenhood and going into adulthood. The amounts of joy he’s brought to me I can’t describe.

There’s a hidden crisis in the NHS.

Fully qualified doctors are being left unemployed because the Government refuses to fund enough training places for them to become consultants or GPs. This year alone, there were 20,000 more applicants than available posts.

At the same time, FY1 doctors carrying £100,000 of student debt earn just £18.62 an hour for life saving work. They’re asking for £22.67/hr, not overnight, but over time.

The message from doctors is clear; we cannot fix the NHS while the Government blocks doctors from progressing and underpays those holding it together.

@wesstreeting now faces a choice; fund training, fix pay, and end this crisis or the dispute will continue.
