What PCOS and PMOS mean
PCOS stands for polycystic ovary syndrome. The condition has been renamed PMOS, polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, because the new name better reflects that it is a hormonal and metabolic condition and not mainly about cysts on the ovaries. Many people still search for and say PCOS, so you will see both here and in the app.
Why a record helps
PMOS can affect cycles, skin, hair, weight and energy, and it looks different for everyone. That is why your own record over time is so useful when you talk to a doctor.
What you can record in The Veda Circle
- Your energy each day
- How regular your cycle felt: regular, a little irregular, very irregular, or no period
- Skin changes you noticed, and anything else you noticed that day
- Everything alongside your cycle calendar, so patterns show up on their own
Taking it to your appointment
Choose the dates and the app builds a doctor-ready report from your own entries. Share it, print it or save it as a PDF.
When to get help
If your periods stop, change a lot, or become very heavy, it is worth speaking to a doctor. Only a clinician can diagnose PMOS or PCOS, and they can talk through what may help you.

Common questions
Is PMOS the same as PCOS?
Yes. PMOS is the new name for PCOS. The Veda Circle uses both so that you can find it either way.
Can I track an irregular cycle?
Yes. You can note how regular your cycle felt, including when you have no period, and your entries sit on a calendar so you can look back.
Can The Veda Circle diagnose PMOS?
No. It helps you keep a clear record and prepare for your appointment. Diagnosis and treatment are for your doctor.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your entries are saved on your phone. We never receive them, so we cannot read, sell or share them.
