PCOS just got rebranded to PMOS after 90 years of being reduced to "just cysts," and honestly, it's about time someone said the quiet part out loud. This week BVTalks is coming in hot with a full episode: what the PMOS name change actually means for your treatment, why hormone therapy for menopause got demonized for decades despite new research linking it to lower dementia risk, and why endometriosis still takes up to a decade to diagnose while women get told it's "just a bad period." We're also getting into period poverty, because apparently that's still a thing in 2026, plus the never-ending reproductive rights rollercoaster nobody signed up for. No sugarcoating, just the facts. Grab your coffee, buckle up, and let's get into it.

Topics covered: PCOS/PMOS name change and treatment options, menopause hormone therapy risks and benefits, endometriosis diagnosis delays, period poverty in the U.S., current reproductive rights news.

We’re talking about the pattern a lot of women notice but don’t always get a clear answer on.
