Unfortunately an unavoidable stage in a woman’s life, menopause can be frightening. It must be said that the symptoms are not very pleasant. But how long do they really last? A doctor answers.
Women are not equal when it comes to menopause. In fact, some women experience very few symptoms. While for others, the matter becomes complicated. Hot flashes, weight gain, insomnia, depression… So many unpleasant symptoms which sometimes even cause a feeling of shame. According to a study conducted by Essity, menopause is a taboo subject for 41% of women. 72% do not prefer to talk regarding it in public and half of women do not discuss it with their partner.
However, menopause is an integral part of a woman’s life. Better information allows you to understand it more calmly. And one question that may raise some fears is the duration of symptoms. In the collective unconscious, we easily imagine that the symptoms last several decades, or even until the end of life. Joann Manson, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and head of the division of preventive medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, tells us more on the subject.

Indeed, the symptoms diminish at the same time as the body adapts to its new reality, namely decreasing levels of estrogen and progesterone.
