About PCOS Philippines

The evidence-based, non-judgmental guide to PCOS (now called PMOS) for Filipinas. It is not your fault: it is your hormones and metabolism, and you deserve clear answers.

Editorially reviewed on October 29, 2026. [TODO: medical reviewer] How we review

Why this site exists

PCOS, now called PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome), affects how your cycles, skin, hair and metabolism work. In the Philippines, the questions people ask most are simple and urgent: Pwede pa ba akong mabuntis? Magkano ang check-up? Saan ako magsisimula? Until now the answers were scattered across Facebook posts, product pages and Reddit comments, where Filipinas trade peso figures because no single page had them.

Many Filipinas also describe doctors who shamed them about their weight. The 2023 International Evidence-based Guideline says weight stigma is common and harmful (Rec 3.6.1, 3.6.2). We built this site to be the opposite: calm, warm, on your side, and honest about the evidence.

What we do

  • Explain PCOS (PMOS, formerly PCOS) in plain English and Taglish, following the 2023 International Guideline and the 2026 Lancet rename paper.
  • Put every peso cost in one place, from government hospitals to Hi-Precision, Kindred, HMOs and PhilHealth Konsulta. See the cost guide and the monthly PCOS Cost Index.
  • Build free tools that work on your phone without an account, and keep your data on your device. See privacy by design.
  • Help you find a PCOS-friendly doctor and prepare for the consult.

Who is behind it

PCOS Philippines is an independent Philippine website. [TODO: owner bio and photo] It is part of a small network of women's health guides with birthcontrolphilippines.com and menopausephilippines.com.

We are not a clinic and we do not sell medicines. A Filipino OB-GYN or endocrinologist with a PRC licence will review our medical pages; until one has signed, every page says so. Read how that works on our medical review page.

Our promises

  • We never sell or promote prescription medicines, and never link to compounded or unregistered GLP-1 sellers.
  • We never show calorie targets, weight-loss promises or before and after bodies.
  • We never present a person we have not verified as a doctor, reviewer or patient.
  • We show every source and tell you how we make money. See our editorial policy and how we make money.
