Biblical typology
Psychological interpretation
Mark 5:25-34 read psychologically: the woman's twelve-year issue of blood is a running womb that cannot conceive, a mind that cannot give form to its longing; touching the garment (virtue goes out of him) her faith closes it, and the closed womb can give form to the seed or idea. Cleansed of the former concept of self, one assumes what one wants and gives it form.

Own wordings
What is this issue of blood? A running womb is not a productive womb
As the womb closes it can give form to the seed or idea
You are the woman cleansed of the issue of blood
