Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) is the new name for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The update reflects what the condition truly is. A hormonal and metabolic condition that affects the whole body, not just the ovaries. This change aims to support clearer diagnosis and better care. At Sage Dietitians, we love supporting people with PMOS and helping them feel confident with their health.
