Question by Screenname here: How long do you have hotflashes after menopause?
My mom started menopause a few years back and still has severe hot flashes. Her doctor doesn’t want to put her on estrogen because of the increased risk of stroke. Is this normal for her to still be having hot flashes? Thanks to anyone who helps.

The years you have hot flashes for are actually referred to as peri-menopause. You don’t hit menopause until you finish these symptoms. A women can perimenopausal for 5-10 years.
