Getting answers, and a plan

PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome) — formerly known as PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) — and endometriosis are both common and can have a significant impact on lifestyle and mood, as well as taking time to diagnose. Dr Chegu works through your symptoms and history carefully, arranges appropriate investigations, and discusses a management plan that reflects your own priorities — whether that's symptom control, cycle regulation, or fertility planning.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a referral?

No — you can book directly to discuss symptoms of PMOS or endometriosis.

What is PMOS?

PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome) is the updated name for the condition previously known as PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). The condition itself is the same — only the name has changed, to better reflect its hormonal and metabolic features. Common symptoms include irregular or absent periods, acne, excess facial or body hair growth, scalp hair thinning, weight gain, and difficulty with fertility — though symptoms vary from person to person.

What is endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it, often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes or pelvic lining. It's common, affecting roughly 1 in 7 women and people assigned female at birth. Symptoms can include pelvic pain, painful or heavy periods, pain during sex, bowel or bladder symptoms, fatigue, and difficulty conceiving — and the severity of symptoms doesn't always match how much tissue is present.

How is PMOS diagnosed?

She'll discuss your symptoms and cycle history, arrange any relevant blood tests or imaging, and talk through what the results mean for you.

Can these conditions be managed without surgery?

Many symptoms can be managed medically — she'll discuss the options with you and refer on for specialist or surgical opinion when that's the more appropriate path.

Does this affect fertility planning?

It can for some patients. She'll factor in your fertility goals when discussing management options, and refer to a fertility specialist where needed.
