Key Points
- The Senate officially recognized September 2025 as a time to raise awareness for polycystic ovary syndrome. This condition affects about 10 percent of women and girls in the United States and is caused by a hormonal imbalance.
- The resolution points out that many women do not know they have the condition until they face health problems like infertility or diabetes. It also notes that the condition can lead to serious risks like heart disease and certain types of cancer.
- The goal of this action is to push for better medical training and more research into finding a cure. Right now, the condition costs the healthcare system more than 15 billion dollars every year and has no known cure.
