women's troubles
Menstrual health issues
Women's troubles is a dated euphemism for gynecological conditions—menstrual problems, uterine issues, or menopausal symptoms.
The phrase belongs to an era when such matters weren't discussed openly: The doctor said it was women's troubles and left it at that.
It could also dismiss genuine health concerns as vague female complaints.
