Q: How long does menopause last? A: The transitional period leading up to menopause is called perimenopause and can last 4-8 years. But once you've gone a full year without a period, you've officially hit menopause!

Q: What can be done to ease symptoms? A: Don't worry ladies, there are ways to find relief:

  1. Hormone therapy (estrogen, progesterone, or combo) can provide major benefits for hot flashes and other symptoms.
