The point about 70% of affected women do not even know they have the condition really highlights why the rename matters practically, not just semantically. A name that points to metabolism and endocrine function instead of ovarian cysts could genuinely change what doctors screen for from now on. Encouraging to see this kind of shift!
Finally! A victory for clarity as well. Every time I made the diagnosis I told my patient that PCOS was a dumb name but *someday* it would get an accurate description.

Truly! We need more shifts like this.

A victory for clarity, indeed. Here’s to more accurate descriptions!
