‘Unprecedented’ global effort gives new name to polycystic ovary syndrome – and new hope to millions of women

Decades-long campaign powered by patient perspectives results in switch from PCOS – a name that caused confusion and undue suffering – to PM

polyendocrine= multiple endocrine factors

metabolic = affecting/affected by metabolism

ovarian = from the ovaries

They did the basic bitch blood test for hormones and apparently they were 'normal' (as per usual, no actual discussion on what that means), so I'm just stuck growing random beard hairs that I don't want without even a name for it

All we can do is hope…. I am hoping with this change to finally have a chance to regulate things I cannot control….

I am in need of some good news.
