Why rename PCOS to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome but keep ovarian in there?

Like if it's all the endocrine organs and glands and it happens in cis men too why keep ovarian in the name?

This is a genuine question.

Somatostatin is a hormone traditionally recognized as a global "system manager" for growth and metabolism, but recent research reveals it primarily functions by regulating a single sleep-active neuron. This localized sleep control mechanism subsequently governs broader physiological processes across the body, including metabolism, memory consolidation, and overall lifespan.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (#PCOS) was officially renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (#PMOS) on May 12, 2026,. This change, published in The #Lancet and announced at the European Congress of Endocrinology, followed a rigorous 14-year global consensus process. The update aims to reduce stigma, improve diagnosis, and accurately reflect the condition's complex, multi-system nature beyond just the ovaries.

This is huge news for women, as it’s estimated that up to a third of women experience some PMOS symptoms. The previous nomenclature meant that many women were not being diagnosed correctly. As a matter of #bioethics of women’s treatment, this is a big sea change. As to how it changes medical professional’s approach, we will have to determine.

Science Explainer: What Hormones Actually Do

There is no male hormone or female hormone. Testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone are in every human body — what differs is the ratio. Effects depend on receptors, enzymes, and timing, all varying independently. "Hormones decide sex" is a slogan. Endocrinology is not.
