Menopause always lasts for years. Generally, women are in perimenopause for some years before the actual time of menopause. I don't think it's getting longer; it's just that in previous generations, perimenopause was not a recognized part of menopause.
For some women, symptoms like hot flashes can last for years after menopause (menopause being the time when a woman stops having periods).
