'The name was inaccurate': PCOS gets a new name after years-long effort - Live Science

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been renamed after a years-long effort to choose terminology that better reflects the condition’s underlying biology and symptoms. Experts say the change moves attention away from ovarian cysts toward the broader hormonal and metabolic features that affect patients. The renaming, covered in multiple recent reports, is part of a wider push to improve understanding, diagnosis and communication about reproductive health and to encourage less-invasive diagnostic approaches.
