Philosophically, we can never fully understand or explain “abnormal” physiological function. It may be a manifestation of the innate intelligence of the body adapting or it may a serious medical condition that necessitates immediate attention. That is one reason why we do not address it in practice.
Agreed!
So when do we know to leave it alone as part of adjustment reaction or when to seek medical help?
When to seek medical help is not our job to determine.
