They can be physical, so that's hot flushes, joint pain, urinary incontinence, heavy periods.

它们可能是身体上的，比如潮热、关节痛、尿失禁、经血过多。

I asked girlfriends and everybody spoke in euphemisms. And finally, when I got the courage to go to the doctor and talk about my heavy periods, I was told to eat liver.

我问了女朋友， 每个人都委婉地说。最后，当我鼓起勇气去看医生并谈论我的月经过多时， 我被告知要吃肝脏。
