National Women’s Health Week (NWHW) is an annual weeklong observance designed to encourage all women to prioritize their health. This year NWHW is May 11-17, 2025, and as part of FDA Office of Women’s Health’s Knowledge and News on Women’s Health (KNOWH) outreach initiative, this year’s NWHW theme is “Know Your Pelvic Floor.”
Pelvic floor health is an important part of a woman’s overall well-being. Approximately 1 in 4 women will experience a pelvic floor disorder (PFD).
This NWHW, OWH encourages all women to learn more about their pelvic floor—including the risk factors and symptoms of different types of pelvic floor disorders, treatment options, and proactive steps to take to strengthen and support their pelvic floor.
During NWHW, OWH will share educational resources on the pelvic floor. We invite you to visit our dedicated National Women’s Health Week (NWHW) 2025 webpage to learn more.
