Hey guys, it's now September so that means its PCOS/PMOS awareness month! I am one of many personally affected by this chronic condition so I like to drop random tidbits throughout the month to help spread awareness and education 👇🏻

This year PCOS just officially got renamed after 10 long years of research 🎉 PMOS better encompasses how this condition is not just about ovaries but how it affects the entire body. This name change is targeted to help get better treatment in the medical field

One practical wrinkle: charts, codes, and clinician language will probably lag, so people may see PCOS and PMOS side by side for a while. The name change still helps move the mental model beyond "ovarian cysts."

absolutely agree, it will take a long time for actual medicine to catch up, but I'll take a step forward over nothing

Agreed. Language changes slowly, especially in charts and billing codes, but even seeing PMOS used alongside PCOS can make the condition easier to understand. Appreciate you sharing awareness this month.
