recently i found out that even after the menopause proper, some women are unfortunate enough to still suffer with hot flushes.
if you really cant tolerate it then your gp should be able to prescribe tablets.
but from what i know from forums many women seem to prefer the grin and bear it method ie let nature takes its course and do nothing apart from cold flannels, cool baths and a fan. Not forgetting throwing off the covers or just using a sheet.

Rest assured, these do pass. Just at different paces for all of us. Some go the supplement route others the HRT route and some swear by the AntiDepressant route (yes, some are helpful for relieving hot flushes at lower doses) and some people choose to go natural. It's really what you feel you can tolerate.
Honestly, no way to tell (I know, dissapointing,right?) how long this will last, but just know it can be uncomfortable for a bit but it does get better.
