This is a very difficult question to answer as it will be different for every woman.
Some women don't get hot flushes, others may only get them now and again or maybe for a short while, for other women they can get hot flushes through out the menopause and even beyond.
Hot flushes can be caused by other factors such as low iron or low thyroid as well as the menopause.
