Medical or Health Anthropology focused on the study of women continues to be a main area of anthropological study in Spain. The contributions of two referential figures in feminist health anthropology, Marcia Inhorn and Mari Luz Esteban, are applied to review the findings of a qualitative research study on the menstrual cycle carried out through 20 interviews with women between the ages of 16 and 44 years, between 2013 and 2014, in the municipality of Madrid. The analysis shows that menstruation is a clear example of the reproductive essentialization of women, of biological reductionism, of the medicalization of women's bodies and, above all, of the standardization of bodies. The visibilization and questioning of these assumptions through the voices of the women interviewed highlight the importance of this field within medical anthropology.
专注于女性研究的医学或健康人类学在西班牙仍是人类学研究的一个主要领域。女性主义健康人类学领域两位具有代表性的人物玛西亚·英霍恩和玛丽·卢兹·埃斯特eban的贡献，被用于回顾一项关于月经周期的定性研究的结果。该研究于2013年至2014年期间，在马德里市对16至44岁的女性进行了20次访谈。分析表明，月经是女性生殖本质化、生物还原论、女性身体医学化，尤其是身体标准化的一个明显例子。通过受访女性的声音使这些假设得以显现并受到质疑，凸显了该领域在医学人类学中的重要性。
