Menopause is the transition period in a woman's life when her ovaries stop producing eggs, her body produces less estrogen and progesterone, and menstruation becomes less frequent, eventually stopping altogether.
Menopause is completed when a woman has missed her period for 12 consecutive months. This is called post menopause.
Several major studies have questioned the health benefits and risks of hormone replacement therapy, including the risk of developing breast cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots.
Every woman is different. When these symptoms end for you will be a different time than for another woman. Discuss this question with your doctor, who knows your medical history.
