So we have the time and money for this bullshit in the nhs but actually treating the women needing gyno havr some of the longest wait times.
Its a farce, I hope every one of these muppets that have taken money for their vanity project are constipated for life

Not sure if i remember correctly but wasnt it just one medical journal that said it should change?
I believe the NHS hasn’t taken a position on the renaming although happy for someone to show they have.

I have every symptom of PCOS but no cysts on my ovaries. The hair growth on my chin is seen as “aesthetic”, the lack of periods, the inability to lose weight after months of calorie deficit and intense weight training and cardio. But no. Bloods are fine, nothings wrong. Miscarriage and depression alongside adhd and whatever else. I hope they change it because it means my “normal” functioning thyroid might be checked more thoroughly. I am 4’8” and my bmi is 30 even though I am more fit than most people my age. Something is wrong. I beg them to change it so I can seek answers. My sister has PCOS and every symptom I do, but she has cysts. It needs to change.it runs in families and they need to give us answers. Nothing is that simple.

Yeah when I saw the NHS’s statement on this, “We’re considering these changes” I nearly threw my phone out the window. We all know that means they aint gonna do squat.
My mother and her mother before her both had early menopause (late 30s) and when I followed suit, it was “Go on the pill” or, the most insulting because it came from a female consultant, “Just deal with it” -rage inducing much..

As a husband of a woman with PMOS, I am damn happy with this change.
My wife spent almost her whole life with gynecologists downplaying her condition which had led to numerous hormonal issues.
It was only when I started doing my own research with a deep dive in the literature that we got to improve her health by targeted supplementation. And we took a gamble because neither of us are trained medical experts or something
And you may ask, “will a name change solve all the issues? “. No, but it is a good start

On the PCOS page on the NHS website it says

It doesn’t really seem unreasonable to ask them to make this change given the review is already overdue.
