Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), formerly known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is a complex condition affecting a woman's hormone levels, causing the body to produce more male hormones than normal. Following a 2026 medical consensus, the condition was renamed to accurately reflect its metabolic nature, moving away from the misconception that it is caused by ovarian cysts.

Because of these hormonal imbalances, women with the condition often experience irregular menstrual periods and can find it hard to get pregnant. Although the condition is not curable, highly effective PMOS treatment is available from UK Meds to help manage insulin levels, balance hormones, and decrease your symptoms.
