PMOS, Endometriosis, Fibroids & More Fertility Services
At RSC, we offer a range of fertility services for reproductive issues. After diagnosing your condition, we can develop a specialized treatment plan that's reflective of your specific needs and goals.
Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS)
For years, the name PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) led many people to believe this condition was only about ovarian cysts. But many patients diagnosed with PCOS never had ovarian cysts at all. That disconnect mattered — and it’s part of why the condition has a new name.
A landmark global consensus published in The Lancet has officially renamed PCOS to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS). The new name better reflects what patients and clinicians have long understood: this is a complex, whole-body condition, not just a reproductive one.
PMOS has always involved much more than the ovaries, including:
- Hormones
- Insulin resistance
- Metabolism
- Ovulation and fertility
- Cardiovascular health
- Mental health
- Long-term health considerations
Language matters, because names shape awareness, awareness shapes diagnosis, and diagnosis shapes care. For many patients, a delayed diagnosis meant years of symptoms being dismissed, misunderstood, or minimized. This change is about accuracy and validation.
If you have been diagnosed with PMOS (or previously with PCOS) and have questions about how it may relate to your fertility, our team is here to offer clear explanations and personalized guidance. You don’t have to navigate it alone.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis can affect fertility, but it doesn’t always.
Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. This can lead to inflammation, scar tissue, and changes in the pelvic environment around the ovaries and fallopian tubes, and it may affect egg quality — all of which can make it harder to conceive for some people.
Endometriosis is generally described in four stages, ranging from mild (stages 1–2) to more severe (stages 3–4). Many people with endometriosis conceive without medical assistance. Others may benefit from support along the way.
Every fertility journey looks different, and a diagnosis is not a definitive answer about your future. If you’ve been diagnosed with endometriosis and are trying to conceive, you don’t have to navigate it alone — there are options, and our team is here to talk them through with you.
Fibroids
Fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear in women of reproductive age. Symptoms may include pelvic pain or pressure, prolonged or heavy periods, spotting between menstrual cycles, frequent urination, low back pain, pain during intercourse or difficulty becoming pregnant.
Irregular Menstrual Cycle
An irregular menstrual cycle is defined as infrequent periods (oligomenorrhea) or an abnormal absence of periods (amenorrhea). This condition might be caused by a family history of irregular menstrual cycles, menopause, premature menopause, an excess of physical or mental stress, smoking or a side effect of medications. We can help you identify and treat this condition.
Uterine Abnormalities
Most of the time, there are no concerning or noticeable symptoms caused by uterine abnormalities. A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) may determine if a uterine abnormality is present and causing infertility or pregnancy loss.
