“…As Bishop 14 points out, health professionals usually consider treatment options in terms of a biomedical understanding of the disease, whereas patients' responses to these recommendations are more reliant upon their 'common sense' models. That the women with fibroids and their doctors may be using different models is not surprising, since research has also shown that health professionals working together, such as doctors and midwives, may differ in how they view the same event, such as menstruation 29 and pregnancy 30 . If, as Schuman and Marteau 30 suggest, doctors are more concerned about reducing the illness risks, then this may explain the differences between doctor and patient in treatment choice for fibroids, since doctors will obviously have more experience and knowledge of the potential complications associated with untreated fibroids.…”

“…La menstruación, a pesar de ser un proceso corporal interno ligado a la fertilidad, la salud sexual y la identidad de las mujeres, es experimentada y construida de acuerdo a elementos culturales, de género, sociales, religiosos, ideológicos, y de otras intersecciones diferenciales que se encuentran en el contexto que habitan las personas menstruantes y que son esenciales para comprender sus representaciones sociales, teniendo en cuenta la prevalencia de actitudes y representaciones negativas sobre dicho proceso incluso con los avances sociales de las últimas décadas (Dufort et al, 1998;Hawkey et al, 2017;Idoiaga & Belasko, 2019;Johnston-Robledo & Stubbs, 2013;Rembeck et al, 2006;Ussher, 2006).Vinculado a dichas representaciones sociales negativas se encuentra el tabú de la menstruación, el cual refiere a la profunda aversión e incomodidad con la menstruación que conlleva, de manera directa o indirecta, a la imposición de una carga a quienes menstrúan a modo casi de castigo (Hunter, 2016;Ooi, 2018). En este sentido, el tabú de la menstruación se encarga de perpetuar el mito de la menstruación como insegura y sucia, de tal forma que la sangre menstrual es considerada una abominación en comparación con otros fluidos corporales (Hunter, 2016, Bramwell, 2001.…”
