Untreated menopause symptoms can lead to several potential risks and complications, affecting both physical and mental health. Hot flashes and night sweats may cause chronic sleep disturbances, leading to fatigue, irritability, and decreased quality of life. Untreated vaginal dryness can result in discomfort during intercourse and increase the risk of urinary tract infections. Long-term hormonal changes and deficient estrogen levels can increase the risk of osteoporosis, making bones more fragile and prone to fractures. There’s also an elevated risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and strokes, as estrogen plays a protective role in heart health. Additionally, untreated menopause-related mood swings, anxiety, and depression can affect emotional well-being and relationships. Weight gain and metabolic changes may increase the risk of diabetes and other chronic conditions. Addressing these symptoms through lifestyle changes, hormone therapy, or natural remedies can improve overall health and reduce long-term risks.
