Question
My wife saw blood because she accidentally stopped taking the pills, and we are on vacation abroad with no way to return, and it is almost impossible to maintain the restrictions. Can we be lenient with the restrictions because it is not real blood (as the doctor said)?
Answer
Seeing blood due to stopping the pills is considered a complete sighting of blood that renders a woman impure, just like any other niddah blood. All restrictions must be observed as with any regular sighting.
There is no reason to return from abroad because of this sighting, and most things can be done even in a state of niddah. I wish you success in managing this challenge.
If there are specific questions about difficulties in maintaining a particular restriction, you can write to us again with a detailed question, and we will try to find a solution.
