Para ello, se analizó diversas publicaciones y se resumió los aspectos más relevantes. La iglesia jugó un papel determinante en la edad media, al tratar de dar explicación a este fenómeno fisiológico en la mujer. Esta explicación relacionaba la menstruación con lo sobrenatural y, por lo tanto, se consideraba a la mujer una intermediaria del diablo.

En tal sentido, las Escuela de Medicina deberían incluir cursos referentes a la medicina tradicional para conocer las plantas que podrían emplearse como complemento al tratamiento farmacológico.
