Excessive Menstruation

Heavy bleeding is read as a loss one cannot control - a sense of something escaping. The pattern is tied to one's womanhood and one's couple: a non-acceptance around having, or not having, children, a loss of joy about bearing a child, a searching for one's identity as a woman, and a dissatisfaction in the relationship one feels one can no longer bear and needs to change. The short explanation's "lacking trust in the male" sits in that strained, unsettled bond with the partner. Relief is described as making peace with where one is as a woman, clarifying what one truly wants, and rebuilding trust in the relationship.

Example from the findings: heavy bleeding is read as an uncontrollable loss bound up with one's womanhood and a relationship one needs to change.
