Did you know that PCOS was renamed to PMOS in June 2026? You can read more about this change in my journal post here.
Are you struggling with symptoms and thing you might have PMOS? You're not alone, in fact 1 in 10 women in Australia have PMOS. It is the most common reason behind irregular cycles. These imbalances can impact ovulation, weight regulation, and overall wellbeing. Using naturopathic medicine we can help to bring PMOS into remission by restoring hormonal balance and addressing your unique drivers.
- Insulin-resistant PMOS: The most common type of PMOS, caused by high insulin levels. Symptoms usually include weight gain, high blood sugar, and cravings for sugar and carbs.
- Inflammatory PMOS: Characterised by low-grade inflammation, which can lead to weight gain, joint pain, fatigue, and digestive issues.
- Adrenal PMOS: Caused by the adrenal glands overproducing androgens. Symptoms include excessive hair growth, oily skin, and severe acne.
- Hidden-cause PMOS: The underlying cause of PMOS is not clear, and may be genetic, environmental, or both.
- Post Oral Contraceptive Pill PMOS: PMOS that develops after stopping hormonal birth control pills.
- Hyperandrogenism - either on pathology or on clinical presentation
- Chronic anovulation (not ovulating)
- Polycystic ovaries on ultrasound, or AMH levels elevated above 35
Understanding Which Type of PMOS You Have:
A Natural Naturopathic Approach to PMOS:
- Blood Sugar & Insulin Support – Stabilising glucose levels to reduce insulin resistance and hormonal fluctuations.
