Bill > S2531

This bill addresses uterine fibroids, which are noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause significant health problems for women. The bill authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to conduct and support research on early detection and intervention for uterine fibroids, and to develop evidence-based strategies for identifying and treating these conditions. The Secretary may award grants to states to implement programs that increase early detection, including advanced gynecological imaging, patient navigation services, and public awareness campaigns. Additionally, the bill allows for research grants to explore disparities in pain management for uterine fibroid treatments and to study conditions like Asherman's Syndrome (a condition causing scarring in the uterus). The legislation requires the HHS Secretary to submit reports to Congress every two years detailing the findings of the funded programs and research, with these reports to be made publicly available online. The goal of the bill is to improve women's gynecological health by supporting research, increasing awareness, and providing resources for early detection and treatment of uterine fibroids and related conditions.
