The PCOS Name Change & Guidelines
Helena is here to talk about the new PCOS guidelines and the name change. We talked about her diagnosis and the complexity of it.

The most recent high-profile development involves a global rename and updated guidelines for PCOS. Reports indicate the name change from PCOS to PMOS (or PMOS-like variants) has been discussed as part of a long-running, international effort led by Helena Teede, with formal publications in major medical outlets and announcements at international events. This marks a shift in terminology to reflect the broader nature of the condition and reduce stigma around the name.[2][7][10]
The 2023 international PCOS guidelines, led by Teede and colleagues, emphasize holistic, lifelong management, patient-centered decision making, and addressing psychosocial impacts in addition to reproductive and metabolic concerns. These guidelines remain a cornerstone of contemporary PCOS care and are frequently cited in related announcements and interviews.[1][7]
Public-facing materials and media discussions around late 2023–2024 highlighted ongoing efforts to reframe PCOS care, reduce weight stigma, and improve early recognition and pregnancy outcomes for people with the condition. Teede has been a consistent advocate for translating guideline evidence into community and clinical practice.[8][9]
