'it sticks out that' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'woman has angina regularly' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'her' (her refers to a woman).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
The alternating letters of 'angina' are 'nia'.
'her'+'nia'='HERNIA'

'this' acts as a link.
