The name won't make a bit of fucking difference unless we scour medical misogyny out of the entire medical profession. I went to GPs twice. In my 20s, presenting a record of my wildly irregular periods, I was told I was 'obsessed'. In my 30s, concerned that a beard wasn't typical, I was told, "You're fat so it's PCOS. Shave if it bothers you." This article is when I found out about insulin resistance and cardiovascular implications. https://www.theguardian.com/society/ng-interactive/2026/may/12/polycystic-ovary-syndrome-pcos-new-name-polyendocrine-metabolic-ovarian-syndrome-pmos
