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.

❌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.

PCOS Renamed PMOS After 14 Years: What It Means for 170 Million Women and Why 70% Go Undiagnosed - Karmactive

PCOS is officially renamed PMOS after a 14-year global consensus published in The Lancet — 170 million women affected, 70% undiagnosed, and a new name that finally covers hormones, metabolism and more.

"With 30 or 40 years of research, we've realized that this is more about hormones and metabolism, not just about the ovary."

A hormonal condition that affects tens of millions of women is being renamed. Here's why that's important | CBC News

After more than a decade of discussion and debate, polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, will now be called polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, or PMOS. It's hoped the name change will mean earlier diagnosis, an approach toward holistic treatments and more awareness of lesser known symptoms of the chronic hormonal disorder.
