Overview & PMOS Nomenclature

Is PCOS Getting a New Name?

💡

PMOS — Polyendocrine Metabolic Syndrome

Global experts have coined the term PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Syndrome) because "Polycystic Ovary Syndrome" is misleading. Many women with PCOS do not have ovarian cysts, and the condition affects far more than just the ovaries—impacting hormones, glucose metabolism, cardiovascular health, and fertility.

PCOS is a hormonal and metabolic condition where the ovaries do not release eggs regularly (anovulation) and the body produces higher-than-normal levels of male-type hormones (androgens).

Root Causes & Contributing Factors

What Causes PCOS?

While the exact cause is complex, several interconnected genetic and environmental factors contribute:

🧬
Genetic Predisposition
Family history of irregular periods, diabetes, or PCOS.
Insulin Resistance
Higher insulin levels trigger the ovaries to produce excess androgens.
⚖️
Hormonal Imbalance
Altered LH/FSH ratio disrupting normal ovulation cycles.
🩸
Increased Androgens
Excess male hormone levels causing acne, hair growth, and follicle arrest.
🌿
Lifestyle & Stress
Sedentary habits, poor sleep, and chronic low-grade inflammation.
🏃‍♀️
Obesity & Lean PCOS
Weight exacerbates insulin resistance, but 1/3 of women have normal weight.
🛑Important Clarification: PCOS is NOT caused by eating too much sugar or doing something "wrong." It is a genuine medical disorder with genetic and metabolic roots.
Symptoms & Rotterdam Diagnostic Guidelines

How Do I Know If I Have PCOS?

Rotterdam Diagnostic Criteria (2 or more required):
1. Irregular Ovulation
Infrequent, delayed, or absent menstrual periods.
2. Excess Androgens
Acne, excess facial/body hair, or high testosterone levels.
3. Polycystic Ovaries
Multiple small follicles on ultrasound (when appropriate).
💡 Can Thin Women Get PCOS?
Yes. Up to 33% of women with PCOS have a normal body weight (Lean PCOS). They require identical metabolic and fertility care.
🩺 Is Ultrasound Enough?
No. Cysts alone do not diagnose PCOS. In teenagers, ultrasound is generally avoided due to normal post-pubertal multifollicular ovaries.
Long-Term Health & Fertility Management

Long-Term Health Risks of PCOS

PCOS extends beyond fertility. Proactive monitoring protects against long-term complications:

👶
Ovulation Infertility
Infrequent ovulation makes natural conception delayed, but treatment is highly successful.
🩺
Type 2 Diabetes & Prediabetes
Insulin resistance increases lifetime risk; early screening is essential.
❤️
Cardiovascular Risk
Higher risk of hypertension, elevated cholesterol, and fatty liver disease.
🛡️
Uterine Lining Health
Prolonged absence of periods increases endometrial hyperplasia & cancer risk.
🌙
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Frequent in both lean and overweight PCOS profiles.
🧠
Mental Health & Anxiety
Increased incidence of anxiety, depression, and body image concerns.
