news about pcos today

‘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

a health policy paper has been published saying the name is officially updated to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS)

polyendocrine= multiple endocrine factors

metabolic = affecting/affected by metabolism

ovarian = from the ovaries

essentially, instead of using the symptomatic term (many people with PMOS do not develop cysts) the new term widens the diagnostic area and makes it easier to diagnose, treat, and do research on people with PMOS (even atypical types, such as no cysts).

it may seem like a waste of time to change a name instead of focusing on research, but for a lot of medical professionals a name can be associated with a hard set collection of symptoms, so the name needs to change to acknowledge that the disorder is not well understood and has a broader, subtler, and often missed set of symptoms. for example ADD is considered an antiquated/unused term, and now comes under the ADHD umbrella. in healthcare names and terminology changes all the time, and this is a positive change. your local healthcare professional may not know about this unless theyre really up on the news though!

in case you want to read about the name change process that was published in the Lancet (one of the most impactful and well respected medical journals):

Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, the new name for polycystic ovary syndrome: a multistep global consensus process

Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), previously named polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), affects one in eight women. However, the

Maybe I’m being the friend that’s Too Woke™ but having Corey being the dead friend in Tomb Quest is kinda giving the “Black dude dies first” trope.

Out of the entire cast they have the only visible racial minority be a guy who dies off screen. And they don’t even give him the grace of his character being featured on the merchandise (genuinely everybody’s character is on this poster bar Corey’s- despite the fact his character is suppose to show up within the tabletop game).

Idk man I feel as if they could have casted anybody else to play the dead friend role.

My other problem with this is both the racial issues presented but also the fact that Ben as a character seems to be disabled/chronically ill given the description of him being in and out of hospital as a child and living beyond his original predicted life expectancy. It feels really shitty that the first major disabled character (that isn’t Ella, though her disability is just magically fixed) is dead the entire time and is described as finding peace and absolution in death.

It’s the magical disabled trope (hilarious since the character is represented as a wizard) which is bad enough on its own. Add on the fact that he’s dead now it’s super ableist, and now they’ve cast the only black actor in the role to be dead the entire time. Add on not featuring him on any merch too. They’ve effectively made the only black and only disabled character a plot device. He would have been a ableist plot device regardless of casting but now they’ve just gone and made it even worse.

It’s a trifecta of bad and insensitive decisions and I’m really upset.
