- Menstruation in history Pio Iván Gómez-Sánchez Yaira Yohanna Pardo- Mora Helena Patricia Hernández-Aguirre Sandra Patricia Jiménez-Robayo Juan Carlos Pardo-Lugo Medicina taboo Menstruation menstrual cycle Objective. To review historical constructs on menstruation. Methodology. Non-systematic review of the literature complemented with consultations with national academic authorities. Results. Menstruation is an experience that involves women and their social group, becoming a relevant event. Treatment of menstrual symptoms is linked to the cultural context in which it is developed. The menstruation experience varies according to popular beliefs, cultural characteristics, and information received to this respect within the social group where the woman is. Menstruation exceeds the imaginary that places it only within the feminine setting; It is a process that involves the social group, inasmuch as it has psycho-social and cultural implications. Conclusion. A relationship exists between menstruation, as a biological event, and the social processes per se, influenced by the historical beliefs that have been transmitted generation after generation. 2012 artículo científico 0120-5307 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=105224976009 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1052 Investigación y Educación en Enfermería application/pdf Universidad de Antioquia Investigación y Educación en Enfermería (Colombia) Num.3 Vol.30
