🌼 First day of spring, fresh starts — and a perfect time to talk about PMOS Awareness Month.
September is a chance to raise awareness, ask better questions, and make sure people affected by PMOS can find accurate, evidence-based information. PMOS — Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome — is the new name for the condition previously known as PCOS, reflecting that it is not just about the ovaries, but also hormones, metabolism, and whole-body health.
So where do you go for accurate, trustworthy information?
The AskPMOS app is a great place to start. It brings together high-quality, evidence-based information developed with leading experts and people with lived experience. You can use it to learn more, prepare questions, and even take it with you into your doctor’s appointment to support a more informed conversation. Joint decision-making is empowering for women in their medical care, helping ensure their questions, preferences, and priorities are part of the plan.

A common diabetes medication could help reduce the risk of preterm birth for mothers at high metabolic risk.

New research led by A/Prof Aya Mousa and Prof Helena Teede, and published in NEJM Evidence, found that while metformin did not prevent gestational diabetes overall, it showed promising benefits in lowering the risk of early and preterm birth.

With gestational diabetes affecting 1 in 5 pregnant Australian women, these findings could help improve outcomes for mothers and babies.

Common diabetes medication reduces preterm birth rates in high-risk pregnancies, Monash University finds.
