PCOS Renamed PMOS and Why Testosterone Matters
Description
PCOS is now officially PMOS—polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome—reflecting its broader systemic impact beyond the ovaries. Testosterone, often seen as a male hormone, is vital for women’s energy, mood, and function; too little can cause fatigue and low libido, while too much—linked to PMOS—may lead to acne, hair loss, and fertility issues. Affecting 5-10% of women of childbearing age, PMOS demands attention. Though testosterone therapy isn’t recommended for most women’s health issues, it may help with HSDD in postmenopausal women under close supervision. If you’re experiencing hormonal symptoms, talk to your doctor.
