This resolution formally recognizes polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) as a serious and widespread health disorder affecting millions of women and girls in the United States. It highlights PCOS's significant impact on reproductive, cardiometabolic, and mental health, noting its association with conditions like infertility, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and various psychosocial disorders. The resolution expresses strong support for designating the month of September as "PCOS Awareness Month" to address the critical need for greater understanding and action regarding this condition. The primary goals of supporting PCOS Awareness Month are to significantly increase awareness and education among the general public, women, girls, and healthcare professionals about PCOS and its numerous comorbidities. This includes improving the diagnosis, treatment, and management of the disorder, while also disseminating vital information to prevent associated health complications. The resolution further emphasizes the urgent need for continued research, enhanced treatment and care options, and ultimately, a cure for PCOS, encouraging states and localities to support these crucial awareness efforts.
