Bill > SRes422

This resolution recognizes polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common hormonal disorder affecting approximately 10% of women in the United States, as a serious health condition with wide-ranging implications. The resolution acknowledges PCOS's complex symptoms, including fertility challenges, irregular menstrual cycles, mental health issues, and increased risk of various medical conditions like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. It highlights that an estimated 70% of women with PCOS remain undiagnosed and that the annual economic burden exceeds $15 billion. The resolution supports designating September 2025 as "PCOS Awareness Month" with the goals of increasing public and professional awareness, improving diagnosis and treatment, disseminating information about the syndrome and its potential complications, and enhancing quality of life for affected women and girls. Additionally, the resolution calls for more medical research, better understanding of the condition, and encourages states and local governments to support PCOS awareness efforts, while recognizing the ongoing challenges faced by women and girls living with this complex disorder.
