After a 14-year global consensus involving 56 organizations and about 22,000 participants, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is officially renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) to reflect its systemic hormonal and metabolic nature. The rename aims to reduce stigma, improve diagnosis, and align clinical practice over the next three years, with around 1 in 8 women affected by PMOS. The effort was led by researchers including Prof. Helena Teede and advocacy by Lorna Berry, highlighting the shift away from a cyst-centric view to a broader endocrine health perspective.
After more than a decade of global consultation, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) to better reflect its hormonal and metabolic impacts. Led by Prof. Helena Teede and backed by 56 medical and patient groups across six continents, the change aims to reduce misunderstanding and improve diagnosis and care, with the new name to be incorporated into international guidelines by 2028.
Live Science reports that polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) will be renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) to better reflect its hormonal and metabolic nature.

The change was led by an international coalition of 56 organizations, with input from thousands of patients and clinicians, and is set to roll out over about three years. The acronym may continue as PMOS, and there are plans to update diagnostic language beyond ovaries to mirror the systemic endocrine-metabolic effects; this may also stimulate broader research and awareness beyond gynecology.
