The new name better reflects hormone fluctuations and impacts on metabolic, mental, skin, weight, and reproductive health, correcting long-standing misconceptions about ovarian cysts. A three-year transition will be supported by international education, awareness, and guideline updates, with full implementation planned for 2028.","Monash University leads effort to rename Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS)  \nMay 13, 2026 | News  \nPMOS will be fully implemented in the 2028 International Guideline update  \nPolycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) has been renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), following a 14-year global effort, led by Monash University in Australia, to improve diagnosis and care.  \nThe condition, affecting more than 170 million women worldwide, or more than one in eight, was misunderstood to be “all about ovarian cysts”.  \nPMOS is characterised by fluctuations in hormones, with impacts on weight, metabolic and mental health, skin, and the reproductive system.  \nProfessor Helena Teede, Director, Monash Centre for Health Research & Implementation and endocrinologist, Monash Health, Melbourne, Australia, led the name change process after decades of research into the condition and seeing patient impacts first hand.  \nThe name change took 14 years of global collaboration between experts and those with lived experience across six continents. Teede said it was the largest initiative to change the name of a medical condition.  \nTransition to the new name will occur over three years, supported by a multi-pronged strategy with a view to greater awareness, enhanced diagnosis, improved care quality and patient satisfaction, and optimised outcomes across the broad features of the condition.  \nThis period will be supported by a major international education and awareness campaign, reaching healthcare professionals, governments, and researchers around the world. PMOS will be fully implemented in the 2028 International Guideline update.  \nDivya Balaji Kamerkar, Co-founder and CEO of Pinky Promise, India said, \"PCOS was always a misnomer. Most women don't have cysts. Many don't have irregular periods. And yet the entire diagnostic framework was built around a name that described the wrong thing. Renaming it to PMOS, Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, finally centres the conversation where it belongs: on metabolism, hormones, and whole body health. At Pinky Promise, we have been building for exactly this reality. This is a win for every woman who was dismissed, misdiagnosed, or left to figure it out alone. But a  \nname change is the beginning, not the destination.\"","cbCaisGvIZqiKYDx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisGvIZqiKYDx","pdf",110335,5,1,2,"English","en",105,"# Overview\n## Rationale for the name change\n## Global collaboration and leadership\n## Transition plan and implementation","[{\"question\":\"Why was PCOS renamed to PMOS?\",\"answer\":\"The rename addresses long-standing misunderstandings that the condition was “all about ovarian cysts.” PMOS better reflects hormone fluctuations and broader whole-body impacts, including metabolic and mental health.\"},{\"question\":\"How many women worldwide are affected by the condition?\",\"answer\":\"The condition affects more than 170 million women worldwide, or more than one in eight.\"},{\"question\":\"When will PMOS be fully implemented in guidelines?\",\"answer\":\"PMOS will be fully implemented in the 2028 International Guideline update after a transition period supported over three years.\"}]","Monash University renames Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) | PDF",1787261519,{"code":4,"msg":31,"data":32},"ok",{"site_id":25,"language":24,"slug":33,"title":13,"keywords":34,"description":14,"schema_data":35,"social_meta":86,"head_meta":88,"extra_data":90,"updated_unix":29},"monash-university-renames-polycystic-ovary-syndrome-pcos-to-polyendocrine-metabolic-ovarian-syndrome-pmos","",{"@graph":36,"@context":85},[37,53,68],{"@type":38,"itemListElement":39},"BreadcrumbList",[40,44,47,50],{"item":41,"name":42,"@type":43,"position":21},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":45,"name":46,"@type":43,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":43,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":43,"position":52},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/monash-university-renames-polycystic-ovary-syndrome-pcos-to-polyendocrine-metabolic-ovarian-syndrome-pmos/134436/",4,{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":24,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":62,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":63,"interactionStatistic":64},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":41,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-08-25","2026-08-20",true,{"@type":65,"interactionType":66,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":67},"ViewAction",{"@type":69,"mainEntity":70},"FAQPage",[71,77,81],{"name":72,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":74},"Why was PCOS renamed to PMOS?","Question",{"text":75,"@type":76},"The rename addresses long-standing misunderstandings that the condition was “all about ovarian cysts.” PMOS better reflects hormone fluctuations and broader whole-body impacts, including metabolic and mental health.","Answer",{"name":78,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":79},"How many women worldwide are affected by the condition?",{"text":80,"@type":76},"The condition affects more than 170 million women worldwide, or more than one in eight.",{"name":82,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":83},"When will PMOS be fully implemented in guidelines?",{"text":84,"@type":76},"PMOS will be fully implemented in the 2028 International Guideline update after a transition period supported over three years.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":87,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":89,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":25},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":92},[93,97,101,105,109,114,119,122,127,130,134],{"id":21,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":94,"show_sort_weight":95,"slug":96},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":98,"show_sort_weight":99,"slug":100},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":52,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":102,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":104},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":110,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":111,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},30,"research-report",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":129},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":133},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":135,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":20,"slug":137},19,"General","general"]
