Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) - or Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) - is one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting women — yet it remains widely misunderstood. For many women, getting a diagnosis can take years, and even after diagnosis, questions about fertility, weight, nutrition and long-term health can remain unanswered. In this episode, experts from Stony Brook Medicine take a closer look at PMOS, including diagnosis, symptoms, and what PMOS can mean for fertility and long-term health.
