古希腊的月经理论都假设了比我们今天认为的标准更重，更频繁和更厚的血液流动。鉴于现代医学认为，以今天的标准来看，营养不良的女性人口流动量会更少，更稀少，这就更加令人惊讶了。这些理论并不仅仅是古代科学家缺乏兴趣或观察的结果。它们源于对女性身体的文化假设，这种假设导致对从妇女本身获得的观察和信息的误解。
Ancient Greek theories of menstruation all assumed a heavier, more frequent and thicker flow of blood than we consider the norm today. This is doubly surprising given that modern medicine would expect a lighter and sparser flow in a female population that was undernourished by today's standards. These theories were not simply the result of a lack of interest or observation on the part of ancient scientists. They stemmed from cultural assumptions about the female body which led to the misinterpretation of observations and information gained from women themselves.
