This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating July as Uterine Fibroids Awareness Month . It highlights that uterine fibroids are a common medical condition affecting a significant percentage of women, causing pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, and reproductive dysfunction, which can severely impact their quality of life and lead to substantial economic costs. The resolution specifically recognizes the disproportionately higher incidence rates and more severe symptoms experienced by Black and Hispanic women . It emphasizes the critical need for greater research, improved treatment, and enhanced care options for uterine leiomyoma, which are currently estimated to cost the U.S. billions annually through healthcare and lost productivity. Finally, the resolution encourages the President to issue a proclamation urging the people of the United States to observe July with appropriate awareness and educational activities, aiming to foster better understanding and early detection of uterine fibroids.
