A practical guide on Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) for Clinicians

The document discusses the shift from the term polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), highlighting the need for a broader understanding of the condition beyond ovarian symptoms. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing interconnected domains such as androgen excess, insulin resistance, and cardiometabolic vulnerability, among others. The guide suggests a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and management, including age-sensitive diagnosis, proactive screening, and culturally competent care. The goal is to move from episodic symptom control to integrated, long-term prevention, requiring clinician education, patient-centered pathways, and equitable access to therapies.
