PCOS Relief: Educational Workshop on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

November 14, 2024
6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Alzheimer Scotland Building, 81 Oxford Street, Glasgow, Scotland, G5 9EP

About the Workshop

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine condition affecting up to 26% of women in specific populations, making it one of the most common health challenges faced by women of reproductive age. Despite its prevalence, there remains a significant need to increase awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding PCOS, especially among ethnic minority (EM) communities.

At this informative workshop, we’ll cover:

  • PCOS Basics: Understanding symptoms such as irregular periods, excess hair growth, acne, and challenges with fertility.
  • Managing Symptoms: Explore various management strategies, including medications, lifestyle changes, and self-care techniques.
  • Long-Term Health Considerations: Learn about the potential risks associated with PCOS, such as Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease, and ways to mitigate them.
  • Breaking Barriers: Addressing the stigma, isolation, and mental health impact (like anxiety and depression) associated with PCOS.
  • Your Voice Matters: Be a part of shaping future services for EM women, empowering change and fostering community.

Official update · May 2026

A landmark update
for 170 million
women worldwide

Previously PCOS Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Now officially PMOS Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome

Published in The Lancet, May 2026 · Endorsed by the Endocrine Society · 56 global organisations

What was PCOS?

A hormonal condition named after the appearance of follicles on the ovaries — a term widely recognised as inaccurate, leading to delayed diagnoses and misunderstood care for millions.

What is PMOS?

A complex, long-term condition involving multiple hormone imbalances, metabolic effects like insulin resistance, and impacts on reproductive, mental, and cardiovascular health — far beyond just the ovaries.

After a decade-long global study with 22,000+ patients and clinicians, the new name was published in The Lancet to reduce diagnostic delays affecting up to 70% of women living with this condition.
