The guidelines recommend when to suspect PMOS, how to assess women and how to diagnose the condition.<\/p>\n

They also say PMOS should not be discounted in women who have been through the menopause. <\/p>\n

PMOS is thought to be more common in women of Black, Asian and mixed ethnicity, and healthcare professionals “should consider this when assessing symptoms”, NICE says.<\/p>\n

Living with PMOS can have a significant impact on mental health and quality of life too, and the draft guidelines say depression and anxiety are common. <\/p>\n

For those planning a pregnancy, advice on weight, diet, nutrition, exercise, sleep and mental health is recommended. <\/p>\n

Marie Anne Ledingham, consultant clinical advisor for women’s and reproductive health at NICE, said recommending a “simple” annual review was an “important step”.<\/p>\n

“This new guideline will help improve consistency of care, increase awareness of the condition, and support earlier diagnosis and management.”<\/p>\n

The draft guideline is open for consultation from 1 July to 11 August 2026, and NICE is inviting feedback from healthcare professionals, patients and the public. NICE expects to publish its final guideline on PMOS in December 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
