PCOS is now PMOS: Why is this good news for Women?
About this episode
The episode discusses the rebranding of PCOS to PMOS and its implications for women's health and diagnosis.
"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.
