Why renaming my health condition could help other women

• PCOS affects over 170 million women globally and remains significantly underdiagnosed, highlighting the need for improved recognition and case identification in clinical practice
• Renaming or reframing PCOS may improve patient understanding, reduce stigma, and potentially increase help-seeking behaviour among affected women
• Greater awareness of PCOS prevalence among healthcare professionals could enhance earlier detection and appropriate management of this common endocrine disorder
