[00:00:00]PCOS has got a new name.

[00:00:01]>> [music] >> It is now called as PMOS. And this is not just a new name, it's a new understanding. Because for years women were told that you have cysts in your ovaries. But PCOS was never just about cysts, and most definitely not just about ovaries. The real issue is much deeper. Hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance, metabolic issues, weight gain, irregular periods, acne, increased facial hair, and fertility issues.

[00:00:26][music] And that's why the experts are now using the term PMOS. Which is polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome. Because this condition affects the whole body and not just ovaries. And maybe that's the most important shift.

[00:00:39]So why does this name change matter? So this name change helps reduce the stigma and increase the awareness and reminds doctors to treat the root cause, not just periods, not just weight, and not just infertility issues. So if your body is giving signs, please don't ignore it.

[00:00:54]Because early diagnosis and lifestyle [music] changes can completely change your future. PCOS has got a new name, and new women deserve a new understanding, too.
