Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), formerly known as PCOS, is one of the most common hormonal disorders affecting approximately 5% to 7% of reproductive age women. Although an underlying reason for PMOS has not yet been identified, it is thought that it may have an underlying genetic reason.
The symptoms of PMOS varies greatly among affected women.
The diagnosis of PMOS is based on the history and physical examination of the woman, laboratory testing, and ultrasound examination.
Even though there is a considerable debate as to the optimal treatment of PMOS, medical management is usually tailored to the patient’s goals.
