I can't guarantee it, but I'd guess the girl is talking about their period. I don't think that him giving advice is helpful in this context and from your comment it seems like maybe that wasn't how you understood the comic. Just adding that because it seems like your comment has a good intent but might not relate to how some people interpret the comic.

Yea I also thought of the woman talking about her period. Obviously it is impossible for the man to feel sympathy to all aspects of physical and emotional discomfort felt during a period but I was focusing mostly on the psychological aspects in isolation from all the other aspects.
