Supporting the designation of July as Uterine Fibroids Awareness Month.

H. Res. 579 is a non-binding House resolution that would designate July as Uterine Fibroids Awareness Month. It acknowledges the significant health impact of uterine fibroids, including pain, abnormal bleeding, reproductive problems, and possible infertility, and notes the economic costs related to treatment and lost work. The resolution highlights disparities, with Black and Hispanic women being affected at higher rates and often with more severe symptoms. It urges greater research, treatment, and care options and asks the President to issue a proclamation encouraging awareness and educational activities during July. Because it is a resolution, not a law, it does not create new programs or authorize spending. Its effect is largely symbolic and educational, signaling congressional support for awareness efforts and urging federal leadership to promote observance of the month.
