Do you know what PMOS is? PMOS stands for polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, formerly known as polycystic O***y syndrome or PCOS. It’s a common but often misdiagnosed hormonal condition that affects millions of women.
PMOS is driven by the effects of androgen (a group of hormones in the body) and changes in how your body uses a hormone called insulin, which controls blood sugar. Talk to your doctor if you experience any of the symptoms in this graphic — they may be caused by PMOS.
Although the exact cause of PMOS is still unknown and there is currently no cure, there are ways to manage it.
