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.
