How long do the hot flushes last for?

It is very difficult to tell how long symptoms will last, some women will have them all the time for several years whereas other women may only get them occasionally and some not at all.

This can be due to a variety of factors including hormonal fall, stress, diet, lifestyle, dehydration, fitness, etc.

It is very important to look after yourself well at this time as, on the whole, the healthier and fitter you are the less likely you would be to get symptoms.
