Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This Senate resolution formally recognizes polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) as a serious health condition and expresses support for designating September 2026 as "PCOS Awareness Month." PCOS affects an estimated 10 percent of women and girls in the United States, impacting hormonal, metabolic, reproductive, and mental health, with up to 70 percent of cases going undiagnosed. The resolution highlights the condition's annual economic burden of over $15 billion and its links to serious complications including infertility, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, endometrial cancer, and pregnancy risks. It calls on medical researchers and health care professionals to improve diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of PCOS, and encourages states and localities to support awareness efforts. As a resolution rather than a law, it carries symbolic weight and does not create new funding, programs, or legal requirements.
