PCOS Becomes PMOS: What's Changing?

PCOS was recently renamed PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome). But this change is about more than terminology. On this episode, Erica Newlin, MD, sits down with reproductive endocrinologist, Mindy Christianson, MD, to discuss why experts felt the name PCOS no longer captured the full scope of the condition and how PMOS better reflects its impact on hormones, metabolism, fertility, and long-term health. They explore common symptoms, misconceptions that can delay diagnosis, how PMOS affects fertility, and why ongoing screening and lifestyle management are important.
