Medical Experts Clarify PCOS Diagnosis Without Cysts

Doctors are raising awareness that Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), now increasingly referred to as PMOS, can be diagnosed even in the absence of visible ovarian cysts.

The condition affects approximately 1 in 10 women globally, yet nearly 70% remain undiagnosed due to misconceptions regarding the necessity of cysts for a clinical diagnosis.

Health organizations are urging women to seek comprehensive screenings for hormonal imbalances and metabolic symptoms, which are more accurate indicators of the syndrome than ultrasound findings alone.
