Genetic Factors – Family history can influence the severity of symptoms.
Lifestyle Habits – Poor diet, smoking, lack of exercise, and stress can worsen symptoms.
Pre-existing Conditions – Women with diabetes, high blood pressure, or thyroid disorders may experience more severe symptoms.
Reduced Metabolism – Slower metabolism post-menopause leads to weight gain and fatigue.
