      If they no longer have their ovaries/testicles, they will end up with basically no sex hormones which will put them at significant risk of conditions like osteoporosis, heart disease, etc. If they do have them, suddenly stopping medication is still bad. Then there’s also the mental health part which is most likely going to be even worse.
