Most often inductors are used to block AC or high frequency signals. This is the dual of what capacitors do which is pass AC or high frequency signals. The precise definition of what is high frequency is a bit loose and depends on the circuit values.
I am 50 and have been in menopause for about 14 months. Since April of last year, I have experienced periods of INTENSE hot flashes and night sweats - sometimes 30 within 24 hours! These periods last 6-8 weeks and then the hot flashes reduce in intensity and occurance gradually over the next 10 weeks. Then, unfortunately, they start again.
A , Women's Health, answered. For many years we told women that hot flashes would last on average for 5 years. This is true, when we look at all women. However, when we look at only the women who experience hot flashes, and who are really the women most likely to be asking this question, the answer changes. Women with hot flashes are like to experience the symptoms on average for 7.4 years. If a woman experiences hot flashes even before her periods stop, she is likely to continue to have hot flashes for 11 years. Those women who only begin to experience hot flashes after stopping periods have symptoms for an average of 3.4 years.
