For decades, millions of people have been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a name, it has now emerged, that was never quite right. According to a global science consortium, the condition is now known as polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS). For Dr Felix Oindi, a consultant gynaecologist and obstetrician at Aga Khan University Hospital, the news came as no surprise. "My initial reaction was that the change was long overdue and scientifically justified," he says. "The new term better reflects the reality that this is a complex hormonal and metabolic condition affecting multiple body systems, not just the ovaries."
