Long-Term Health Risks

Meaning

Long-Term Health Risks are potential adverse health outcomes that manifest or persist over an extended period, often years or decades, following exposure to a specific condition, intervention, or pharmacological agent. In hormonal health, this refers to the chronic complications associated with sustained hormonal imbalances or the prolonged use of exogenous hormonal therapies. Understanding these risks is fundamental to ethical and preventative clinical practice and patient counseling.
