Summary
South Jersey healthcare providers are beginning to use PMOS—Polycystic Ovary Morphogenesis Syndrome—in place of PCOS for a common hormonal disorder seen across seven counties.
The rename follows research presented at an international conference and is meant to reflect the condition’s broader biology, not just ovarian cysts.
PMOS describes a syndrome tied to hormonal imbalance, irregular ovulation and often insulin resistance, with effects spanning fertility concerns and metabolic health.
Providers in Cumberland, Atlantic, Camden, Gloucester, Salem, Burlington and Cape May counties are expected to adopt the term in patient education and clinical discussions.
