PMOS (the new name of PCOS): is it just about the ovaries?

(Yes, this is a pomegranate, somewhat similar to but easier to look at than ovarian cysts). In 2023, what used to be called polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) was renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, or PMOS. Up to 20% of women suffer from PMOS but it’s estimated that as many as 70% of cases worldwide remain undiagnosed. And PMOS is the most common cause of female-associated problems with infertility. So if you have been diagnosed with it, you have lots of company.

Perimenopause: is menopause here already?

Perimenopause refers to the stage in a woman’s life that precedes menopause, which is determined to be when menstruation has stopped for at least 12 months. The average age of menopause is 51 years old, but the period leading up to that, perimenopause, typically begins in the mid-40s, sometimes earlier-- and occasionally much earlier! Perimenopausal symptoms can be disruptive and distressing, especially for women who are not anticipating them.
