Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) is the new name for the condition previously known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) — a change that accurately reflects the condition, which affects 1 in 8 women, or more than 170 million worldwide. The changes follow 14 years of research and advocacy and the largest global engagement ever for a medical name change, with more than 22,000 survey responses, workshops with women who have lived experience, health professionals, and the involvement of 56 patient organizations and professional societies around the world, including PCOS Awareness Association. The term PCOS focused on “cysts” and ovaries, even though women don’t have cysts. PMOS is a long term endocrine/ hormonal and metabolic condition, and the misunderstanding has contributed to delayed diagnosis, poor quality of care and lack of research and funding. Women living with the condition led the call for change — and their voices matter 🩵 86% of patients and 76% of health professionals support the name change. The change to PMOS will improve understanding, awareness, earlier diagnosis, better care and more research. We recognise that this change will take time and there is a 3 year transition period where both names will co-exist together - the work doesn’t stop here!

Mother’s Day can mean something different for everyone. For some, it’s joy. For some, it’s waiting. For some, it’s hope, uncertainty, caregiving, or learning how to be gentle with yourself along the way. For women living with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), the journey can carry extra weight. Especially when motherhood doesn’t follow one simple path. Today, with PCOS Awareness Association @pcosaa , we’re honoring every version of that story, and every woman moving through it in her own way. Wishing you a gentle Mother’s Day, wherever you are in your journey. ☀️🌷

PCOS isn't just about periods. 🌿 It affects your metabolism, your mental health, your fertility — and so much more. Yet so many people are still only hearing part of the story. That's why education matters. The more we understand PCOS in its full complexity, the better we can advocate for proper diagnosis, treatment, and support.

Some conversations are hard to have… but necessary. 💛 PCOS impacts more than our hormones or our cycles. It impacts our mental health, our confidence, our relationships, and sometimes even how we see ourselves in the mirror. Too many people are silently carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, isolation, and feeling misunderstood while battling PCOS. That’s why stories matter. That’s why community matters. And that’s why voices like Cryssy’s matter. PCOS CON was created to remind people that they are not alone in this journey. It’s a space for truth, healing, education, vulnerability, and connection — because behind every diagnosis is a real person trying to navigate life the best they can. We’re also proud to partner with @crisistextline to remind our community that help is always available. If you are struggling and need support, text “PCOS” to 741741 to connect with a live, trained Crisis Counselor. 🩵 If this video resonates with you, know this: your feelings are valid, your journey matters, and there is still hope even on the hard days. Together, we can continue breaking the silence around PCOS and mental health. #PCOSAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #PCOSCon #CrisisTextLine #TogetherWeCan

They told you it was “normal.” But deep down, you knew something wasn’t right. Too many people with PCOS are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told to “wait it out” while their symptoms get louder. Painful periods. Sudden weight changes. Feeling like your body is working against you… none of that should be brushed off. Your body is speaking. You deserve to be heard. Learning the signs is the first step. Advocating for yourself is the next. And together, we’re changing the narrative—so no one has to question their reality again. Save this as a reminder: what you’re feeling matters. 💙 #PCOSAwareness #WomensHealthMatters #HormoneHealth #KnowYourBody #PCOSSupport

Struggling with low energy, feeling chilly, or noticing unexpected weight gain? These can be signs your thyroid needs attention—especially for those of us in the Cysterhood. It’s common for thyroid issues to show up alongside PCOS. Checking in with your doctor about thyroid testing can make a real difference. Early answers mean better support for your health. You’re never alone on this journey. #PCOSTips #PCOSAwareness #PCOSAA #ThyroidHealth #WomensHealth #Cysterhood #pcos #pcosresources
