PMOS — commonly known as PCOS/PCOD

Polycystic ovary syndrome is more than a period or ovarian problem. It is a hormonal and metabolic condition that may affect menstrual cycles, ovulation, fertility, skin, hair, body weight and long-term metabolic health. The term PMOS highlights this broader metabolic involvement. We evaluate irregular or absent periods, acne, unwanted facial or body hair, scalp hair loss, weight gain, insulin resistance and difficulty conceiving. Assessment is individualised because not every woman with PCOS has ovarian cysts, obesity or irregular periods. Treatment may include lifestyle measures, menstrual-cycle management, metabolic risk reduction and appropriate medication, based on the woman’s symptoms, age and reproductive plans.
