Start with the right question
In May 2026, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS). The term reflects broader endocrine and metabolic features. Not everyone with PMOS has insulin resistance, and no single blood test establishes the diagnosis.
What we consider in context
- Cycle history, symptoms and medication
- When appropriate: androgens, SHBG and metabolic markers
- Clinical assessment to diagnose PMOS and exclude other causes
What one result cannot tell you
Health Cartel can help organise test results, lifestyle factors and relevant questions, but does not diagnose PMOS. Clinical assessment follows the international evidence-based guideline.
We can help you understand your results alongside your goals, lifestyle and existing medical context.

Is PMOS the same condition as PCOS?
Yes. PMOS is the updated name adopted in 2026; PCOS remains familiar during the terminology transition.
Does insulin resistance always occur with PMOS?
