## Summary

**Recognizing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) as a serious disorder.** The resolution highlights PCOS's wide effects on cardiometabolic, reproductive, and mental health and supports designating September 2026 as PCOS Awareness Month to boost diagnosis, care, and research. - Women and girls: pushes public and clinician education to improve diagnosis and treatment. PCOS affects about 10% of women and up to 70% may be undiagnosed. - Health care professionals and researchers: urges accelerated research and better treatment and care options. The resolution links PCOS to diabetes, heart disease, a fourfold higher risk of endometrial cancer, and higher rates of mental health disorders. - Policymakers and public health: encourages States, territories, and localities to support Awareness Month and outreach. It notes a multiyear transition to the new term polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) while keeping PCOS in use.
