PMOS: the new name for PCOS - with Dr Emma Sloan

As part of our Lunch & Learn series of webinars, here’s Dr Emma Sloan from Dr Morton’s Women’s Health Service, with Sally Leech and Deborah Garlick from Henpicked. You may be familiar with PCOS – polycystic ovary syndrome – but what about PMOS? In this session, we explore Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), the proposed new name for PCOS, why the terminology is changing and what this could mean for people living with the condition. Dr Emma Sloan explains what we currently understand about PMOS, including the hormonal and metabolic factors involved, the wide range of symptoms people can experience and why the condition can look very different from one person to another. We also discuss approaches to managing symptoms, the importance of looking at the whole person rather than focusing solely on the ovaries, and how to get the right support from your GP or healthcare practitioner.
