Name Change of PCOS: Modernization has had the biggest impact on our health. Due to changing lifestyle, the problem of PCOS has become very common in women. The name of this disease has been changed. It is being said that this name of PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) does not completely define this disease.
This disease to menstruation has been newly named PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome). Approximately 170 million women worldwide suffer from PMOS, half of whom have not even been diagnosed yet. Experts say that changing the name may change the way it is understood and treated.
Actually, the first word of PCOS, Polycystic, is wrong, because there are many women with this health condition who do not develop cysts. Instead, the scan found that these are underdeveloped follicles, or eggs, which are unable to fully develop due to hormonal conditions. Experts believe that these are pathological cysts. Because of the old name, more attention was given to the ovaries, whereas it affects the entire body.
The meaning of each word of the new name has been decided based on years of research, consultation and information gathered from patients.
This term expresses the involvement of multiple hormone systems, not just reproductive hormones. PMOS also affects insulin, testosterone, and other internal body parts throughout the body.
This term is directly to metabolism, weight management and insulin resistance and is the most overlooked aspect of this disease.
This term was added because PMOS is to ovulation. Especially for ovulation and hormone production.
The symptoms of this disease are different for each person. It depends on his lifestyle, eating habits, physical structure and genetics. Therefore it is called a syndrome rather than a common disease.
However, to avoid this disease, change in lifestyle is important. Since it is a lifestyle disease, daily exercise, good sleep, healthy diet, weight management and reducing mental stress have to be included in your daily routine.
After changing the name, fertility may be the first priority for some women. For others it may be mental health, pimples, weight management or preventing future risk of diabetes.
