Hot flashes affect about 85% of women during the years immediately before and after menopause. Menopause usually occurs around age 51, but hot flashes can begin as early as 2 to 3 years before the last menstrual period. Hot flashes can last for 6 months to as long as 15 years after the final period. The average is two years.
On average, the age that menopause is reached is around 52. For most women, hot flashes last around two to five years from the beginning of perimenopause up to a few years after menopause itself is reached. However, around half of all women who experience hot flashes actually end up suffering from them for more than five years after menopause. In severe cases, around 15 percent of women studied report suffering from hot flashes for as long as fifteen years after they have reached menopause.
