Question
A woman underwent a Pap test (sample collection for fertility treatment), and the doctor mentioned there might be bleeding, but it's from the cervix and not the uterus itself. She is supposed to immerse tomorrow. Should she avoid the test tomorrow to avoid uncertainty? (She has been checking twice a day all week)
Answer
Shalom and blessings
According to the law, she should perform one check tomorrow morning before the doctor's examination. In the afternoon, she should not perform a check, and even if there is slight bleeding, it should not be considered, as it is known she has a bleeding wound due to the 'Pap'.
However, if she wishes to be more stringent and perform the check at the doctor's, there is room for this.
