Excessive flooding is common at the menopause (time when menses permanently cease) and is due to uterine displacements, Tumors or congestion; to venereal excesses; to repeated pregnancies: to high-living or mental excitement.

Malaise, yawnings, feeling of out-of-sorts, headache and heaviness, pain in back and loins, chilliness, loss of appetite are associated symptoms.
