"Sneezing, drowsing and yawning during prayer, also menstruation/hayd, vomiting and nose bleeding come from the devil".
Some misleading critics have unfortunately tried associating that hadith, despite its weakness, with the prophet's statement elsewhere in regards to a woman's frequent bleeding. The prophet told her that was not hayd/menstruation. This in itself discards the attempted association of the 2 statements by the critics.
He further says that this bleeding is from a aarq/vein
"That is not menstruation, rather that is a vein".
He is evidently speaking of a ruptured blood vessel. That rupturing, as he says elsewhere is caused by a rakd/running from the womb, not from the devil. The blood from the womb ran fast causing the vein to break
"That is not menstruation, rather it is a rakd min/from the womb".
Rakd means running. It has been rendered in some english translations as "kick". This is because the running in concrete is done with the legs that kick the ground, however the word can apply to other things that run, including blood in the veins as is clearly meant here by the prophet.
