Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill H 4308 now officially designates September as "PCOS Awareness Month" in South Carolina. This change highlights the importance of educating the public about Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a condition that affects about 15% of women and girls and can lead to serious health issues. Recognizing this month aims to improve awareness, encourage early diagnosis, and promote better health outcomes for those affected by PCOS. This is significant because early intervention can reduce the long-term health risks associated with the disorder.

Document has been reformatted to meet World Wide Web specifications.)                 A house RESOLUTION   TO RECOGNIZE THE IMPACT OF POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME (PCOS) ON THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF WOMEN AND GIRLS IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO DECLARE SEPTEMBER AS "PCOS AWARENESS MONTH" IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
  Whereas, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a serious genetic, hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive disorder impacting nearly fifteen percent of women and girls in South Carolina and across the United States;
and   Whereas, PCOS is a leading cause of infertility and is associated with serious health risks, including Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, endometrial cancer, obesity, anxiety, depression, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and other life-threatening conditions;
and   Whereas, over fifty percent of women with PCOS go undiagnosed or are misdiagnosed, leading to delays in appropriate treatment and an increased risk of long-term health complications;
and   Whereas, PCOS is linked to a higher likelihood of pregnancy complications, including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, preterm delivery, miscarriage, and increased fetal and infant mortality;
and   Whereas, the annual economic burden of PCOS is estimated to exceed $15 billion in the United States, not including the costs of associated comorbidities in adolescence;
and   Whereas, early detection, improved treatment, and greater awareness are essential to improving health outcomes for individuals affected by PCOS;
and   Whereas, advocacy organizations such as PCOS Challenge:
The National Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Association continue to raise awareness, promote research, and support those affected by PCOS;
and   Whereas, recognizing September as PCOS Awareness Month in South Carolina will bring greater attention to this critical public health issue and encourage support for improved research, treatment, and patient care.  Now, therefore,   Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
  That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize the impact of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) on the health and well-being of women and girls in South Carolina and declare September as "PCOS Awareness Month" in the State of South Carolina.
  Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Governor of South Carolina and relevant health organizations to encourage statewide recognition and action on this important issue, and that a copy of this resolution be presented to Payton Lang, Miss Palmetto 2025, for her advocacy work in this area.
