polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome

Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) is a proposed clinical condition linking ovarian dysfunction (often polycystic ovary syndrome) with abnormalities in multiple endocrine and metabolic pathways, such as insulin resistance, thyroid disorders, adrenal hyperactivity, and altered lipid metabolism. It emphasizes that ovarian symptoms may be part of a broader systemic hormonal imbalance rather than an isolated gynecologic issue. Diagnosis involves evaluating ovarian function together with thyroid, adrenal, glucose, and lipid panels, and treatment typically combines lifestyle changes, insulin‑sensitizing agents, and hormone‑balancing therapies.
