A member asked:

How do you get hot flashes for when you are post menopause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common: Most women have hot flashes for 6 months to 2 years, but it may be more like 3-5 years. Some women have them 10 or more years. And it's not uncommon to have a recurrence of hot flashes more than 10 years after menopause.
