PCOS is now PMOS: Why is this good news for Women?

Loading player...
"PCOS" is now called "PMOS"...

A simple name change, that makes a profound impact on women's health (and getting the correct diagnosis).

Previously, the name referred mostly to the reproductive system, specifically, cyst related. Often, this resulted in a misdiagnosis or complete lack of support and treatment. With "PMOS" the entire endocrine (hormonal) and metabolic systems are included.

A combination of symptoms that women have always experienced, but is now given a better description: life changing!

In this fascinating discussion we speak with hormone specialist & medical professional, Dr Juanri Jonck, about PMOS, and what the name change really means for diagnosis.

Women's Health is turning a corner, a remarkable change that now re-defines the understanding of so many commonly-ignored symptoms.
