how long do women have night sweats?
According to conventional medical wisdom, menopause-related hot flashes fade away after six to 24 months. Not so, says a new study of women going through menopause. Hot flashes and night sweats last, on average, for about seven years and may go on for 11 years or more. The hormonal roller coaster that comes with the end of a womanâs childbearing years can trigger a range of symptoms. Up to 80% of women going through menopause experience hot flashes.
