Servicewomen and Veterans Menopause Research Act
This bill requires the Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs to evaluate existing research on menopause, perimenopause, and mid-life health for women serving in the military or who are veterans. It directs them to identify gaps in knowledge about treatments for symptoms, the impact of military service (including combat exposure and toxins like PFAS), and the availability of care and training for healthcare providers. Within 180 days of enactment, the departments must submit a report and strategic plan to Congress detailing findings and outlining steps to address research gaps and improve care. The law directly affects military women, veterans, and their healthcare providers by aiming to enhance understanding and services for menopause-related health issues.
