Polycystic ovary syndrome doesn't actually involve cysts. And that's before we even get to the testosterone. PCOS affects millions, but for a long time, its name has told only part of the story. Now researchers are calling it PMOS: Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome.
The science behind that name is genuinely fascinating, and kind of mind-bending.
From a misfiring hormonal metronome in the hypothalamus, to runaway testosterone, to a rogue enzyme that silences insulin signaling across your entire body, PMOS is a master class in how interconnected our hormonal systems really are.
