Hopefully this isn’t breaking rules. Yes it is a veiled attempt at advice because I’ve been hemming and hawing. But the question can be answered purely as is. There are obviously pros and cons so I’d like to know how you all feel.
Thank you.

Not sure if you’ve heard, but the medical world is slowly trying to transition to calling it PMOS now. Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome. Basically, research has concluded that the ovarian cysts are a symptom of much larger metabolic and insulin resistance issues. So they’re trying to move towards referring to it as an endocrine and metabolic issue, instead of an ovarian cyst issue.
The fact that many doctors don’t tend to take women’s issues seriously is a factor in the name change. Language shapes how we view the world, and referring to it specifically as an issue with ovarian cysts has lots of doctors automatically dismissing it as whiny women complaining about their periods. But calling it an endocrine and metabolic issue is more accurate and may encourage some doctors to actually take the symptoms more seriously.
I’ve heard it’s been talked about but I didn’t know it was official! Thanks.
