Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), previously called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is a common hormonal disorder in females. The condition has wide-ranging effects on the body, affecting metabolism, hair, skin and mental health, and sometimes making it hard to get pregnant, according to the Mayo Clinic.
PMOS affects over 170 million people of reproductive age worldwide, including up to 12% of U.S. women of reproductive age.
