Quote:A hormonal disorder that affects 1 in 8 women just got a new name.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) will now be called polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS). Experts say that the new name better reflects the nature of the disease.

"It was very clear that the name was inaccurate," said Dr. Helena Teede, an endocrinologist and professor of women's health at Monash University in Australia. Teede, who is also the director of the Monash Centre for Health Research & Implementation, chaired the steering group that led the name-change effort.
