See how you handled this euphemism in 20:11.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אִשָּׁ֜ה דָּוָ֗ה

woman/wife menstruating

This expression does not refer to physical sickness but rather to a woman’s experience of normal menstruation. If this would not be clear to your readers, consider stating the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar expression in 15:33. Alternate translation: a woman who is experiencing her normal menstruation

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

וְגִלָּ֤ה אֶת־ עֶרְוָתָהּ֙

See how you handled the similar expression in 18:6.

The expression her flow and the fountain of her blood refer to a woman’s genitals during her normal menstruation. Similar to the euphemism “to uncover one’s nakedness,” uncovering a woman’s genitals during menstruation is thought to bring shame on both her and the man involved. If this would not be clear to your readers, consider stating the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: he has exposed her genitals during her normal menstruation and so shamed her, and she has uncovered the source of her genital bleeding and so brought shame on herself
