How Long Do Menopause Symptoms Last?

There’s no universal timeline — but we can predict patterns. At Be. Women’s Health in Frisco, TX, we help women understand what to expect.

Average duration:

Hot flashes: 4–7 years
Night sweats: 2–10 years
Mood changes: months to years
Brain fog: usually improves with sleep and hormone support
