Recognizing the seriousness of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and expressing support for the designation of the month of September as "PCOS Awareness Month".

Polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, is a hormonal condition affecting an estimated 5 to 10 million women in the U.S., causing symptoms like irregular periods, weight gain, infertility, acne, and higher risks of diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. An estimated half of women with PCOS go undiagnosed, often not finding out until they struggle with fertility or develop serious complications. This resolution would designate September as PCOS Awareness Month and calls for better public education, improved diagnosis and treatment, and more research toward a cure. It also highlights that PCOS costs the U.S. healthcare system over $4 billion a year — and that figure only covers reproductive years.
