PCOS / PMOS

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a cardiometabolic condition, not only a cycle problem

PCOS remains under-recognised beyond its reproductive signs. Insulin resistance, androgen excess and long-term metabolic risk sit at the centre of the picture, which is why the newer language of PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome) is useful.

What a consultation is for

Conventional management often focuses on cycle control or a single insulin-sensitising medicine. Those tools can be useful. They are not the whole plan.

In clinic the first hour is a full obstetric and gynaecological consultation with a lifestyle and precision-health lens: what is driving the symptoms, which tests would change decisions, and which levers (food pattern, movement, sleep, stress load, and medication) belong in writing.

A longer article sets out the four lifestyle pillars used in PMOS care, with references. It is education, not a protocol to follow on your own.
