PCOS / PMOS

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

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 consultation (45–60 minutes) 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 Journal note on where to start with PCOS and the emerging PMOS label is the best first read. The longer chameleon piece is still there if you want the metabolic framing.
