House Resolution No. ___, introduced by a group of representatives, seeks to designate October 2025 as "Menopause Awareness Month" in Pennsylvania. The resolution highlights the significance of menopause, a natural biological process that typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, and the various symptoms associated with it, such as weight gain, joint pain, and increased risk of depression. It emphasizes the importance of education and awareness regarding menopause, as many women lack information about the condition and its implications for long-term health, including risks for osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases.

The resolution calls for increased awareness among women, medical professionals, and the general public about menopause, its symptoms, and available treatments. It points out the need for better education in obstetric and gynecology residency programs and advocates for preventive measures, such as hormone replacement therapy and regular screenings for bone density and heart health. By designating October 2025 as Menopause Awareness Month, the resolution aims to empower women to take control of their health and well-being during and after the menopausal transition.
