Renaming PCOS to PMOS: Implications for Women’s Health and Awareness

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has officially been renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) following over a decade of advocacy and international consultation. This chronic condition, affecting approximately one in eight women globally, is associated with a wide array of health complications including diabetes, heart disease, depression, infertility, pregnancy difficulties, and reduced quality of life. The previous term, PCOS, was considered misleading because it suggested a disease primarily of the ovaries, whereas the condition’s key feature is disrupted follicle development due to hormonal and metabolic disturbances. The new designation, PMOS, aims to reflect the broader endocrine and metabolic aspects of the condition, as well as reduce stigma surrounding weight, mental health, and physical symptoms like acne and excess hair growth. The renaming process involved surveys and workshops with 22,000 patients and healthcare professionals, supported by 56 academic, clinical, and patient organisations, including Canadian and UK associations. With the transition expected to improve recognition, diagnosis, and treatment, the change also signals a commitment to patient-centred care, education, and research. Canadian experts emphasise that greater awareness among clinicians across multiple disciplines, from endocrinology to primary care, will be essential to ensure long-term support for women living with PMOS.

From PCOS to PMOS.
“PMOS is a chronic condition associated with diabetes, heart disease, depression, infertility, pregnancy complications and a general decreased quality of life. It affects an estimated one in eight women worldwide, and about one in 10 Canadian women”

From PCOS to PMOS: What the name change to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome means for women’s health

PMOS is not primarily a disease of the ovaries. Its new name reflects the condition’s more complex and cyclical endocrine and metabolic features.

Cameras on OnePlus 6T “work” very basically in #pmOS, but terribly. The exact same hardware works extremely well in #UbuntuTouch. I'm supportive of #pmOS and #Mobian but they really don't work as well as #UbuntuTouch on OP6T. I patiently await improvement before I'll be ready to switch fully.

Well I would *prefer* to have a #pmOS phone that *works* (especially the cameras), but until that day arrives I'm very happy with second-hand OnePluses running #UbuntuTouch on Halium, and running very well thanks. It would be nice not to be dependent on the Halium layer, Android drivers etc. But having LineageOS running in a Waydroid container on #UbuntuTouch is also very nice, as it opens up the #fdroid app space and apks too. Linux-only purism isn't very helpful.

While you are right about the disadvantages of the #Halium approach, I would not dismiss it entirely. Because it's a way to get the beauty of the Linux user space to people who just don't have a #PinePhone, #Librem5, or #OnePlus and can't afford another phone. To have progress in the mobile UI, e.g. #Phosh, it's helpful to have as many devices and users as possible. Halium is not the goal, but a step away from Android, towards #Mobian or #PMOS!

❌PCOS war gestern. Heute heißt es ✅PMOS!
Und das ist mehr als eine bloße Namensänderung.

Der neue Begriff Polyendokrines Metabolisches Ovarialsyndrom macht klar: Es geht nicht nur um Eierstöcke oder Zysten, sondern um eine komplexe Stoffwechsel- und Hormonstörung, die den ganzen Körper betrifft. 1 von 8 Personen ist betroffen, doch viele wissen es nicht.

I appreciate that @19thnews article on #PMOS (renamed from #PCOS) specifically mentions that #trans men and #nonbinary people, as well as women, are susceptible to this disorder.
