Women's Pelvic Floor Health Education and Awareness Act

H.R. 4979, the Women's Pelvic Floor Health Education and Awareness Act, seeks to improve the prevention and treatment of pelvic floor disorders, such as incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse, through increased public education and medical research. The bill directs federal health agencies to launch awareness campaigns for both the public and healthcare professionals while expanding research efforts at the National Institutes of Health. If enacted, the legislation would support the development of national databases to track surgical outcomes and provide better resources for women seeking care for these common but often under-discussed health conditions.
