Is it true that in 2026, an international expert group renamed polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS)?
Yes. Multiple independent 2026 sources, including a Lancet consensus paper and a review dated 12 May 2026, state that PCOS was formally renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) through a global consensus process.
