Understanding the terminology
The NHS now uses polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) for the condition previously called PCOS. PCOD is another term you may encounter when searching; the wording alone should not guide treatment.
Periods and fertility
The condition can involve irregular periods, hair or skin changes and difficulty conceiving. Assessment looks at symptoms and test results together. Ask how your cycle pattern affects the plan for trying to conceive.
