Most often inductors are used to block AC or high frequency signals. This is the dual of what capacitors do which is pass AC or high frequency signals. The precise definition of what is high frequency is a bit loose and depends on the circuit values.
I am 50 and have been in menopause for about 14 months. Since April of last year, I have experienced periods of INTENSE hot flashes and night sweats - sometimes 30 within 24 hours! These periods last 6-8 weeks and then the hot flashes reduce in intensity and occurance gradually over the next 10 weeks. Then, unfortunately, they start again.
On average, the age that menopause is reached is around 52. For most women, hot flashes last around two to five years from the beginning of perimenopause up to a few years after menopause itself is reached. However, around half of all women who experience hot flashes actually end up suffering from them for more than five years after menopause. In severe cases, around 15 percent of women studied report suffering from hot flashes for as long as fifteen years after they have reached menopause.
