Back in **Episode 11** of the Berserk anime, Casca and Guts fell from a high
cliff into a river. Later, Guts found Casca suffering from high fever, so he
decided to warm her body. While undressing her, he saw something (as I saw)
like **blood flowing down** (I couldn't understand from where), then he said:

> Now I understand. Must be hard, being a woman

**What did Guts mean when he said that?**

I don't think she was having periods, but then what else could it be specific
only to a woman.

In the Berserk anime, what was Guts's interpretation of Casca's "woman issue" in episode 11?


If you read the manga and watch the second film it's much clearer that she has
her period and that it's menstrual blood.

The anime couldn't show sexual organs which is why it's so vague. I didn't
understand when I first watched the anime either.

Hope that helps!

This panel hints that she was having menstrual cramps before the battle
started. She is complaining about them happening while clutching her abdomen.

The entire chapter (and the next several chapters) are full of references
about her health and discussion about a woman's place on the battlefield. She
was clearly menstruating.
