PCOS has now been renamed PMOS after years of international research, recognising it as a full-body hormonal and metabolic disorder rather than just a condition linked to ovaries or cysts.
The change aims to better reflect symptoms linked to insulin, hormones, metabolism, and reproductive health, while also addressing the stigma associated with the disorder.
But in India, access to affordable healthcare, nutrition, treatment, and awareness continues to remain a major challenge for many women living with the condition.
