PCOS name change ‘more representative of condition’

• PCOS Name Change
• PCOS nomenclature is being reconsidered to better reflect that the condition extends beyond ovarian dysfunction, improving patient understanding and reducing diagnostic oversimplification
• The updated terminology aims to address the systemic nature of polycystic ovary syndrome, encompassing metabolic and endocrine manifestations affecting multiple organ systems
• Renaming the condition may enhance clinical recognition that PCOS involves broader pathophysiology than its current title suggests, potentially improving holistic management approaches
