Learn about PCOS (now known as PMOS), including symptoms, causes, how it’s diagnosed and treatment options.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) to better reflect the nature of the condition.

PMOS is a complex, long-term hormonal disorder that can affect your physical and mental health.

If you have a range of symptoms, including irregular or absent periods, skin issues, weight changes and mental health concerns, ask your doctor about PMOS.

Treatments depend on your symptoms. They might include lifestyle changes, hormone medicines and over-the-counter products.
