Question
I had stains, and a nurse examined me and saw that there is a wound on the cervix. I performed a purity check, and a small amount of blood was found on it, corresponding to the wound. Can I rely on this examination?
Answer
The purity checks, the first clean check, and the seventh clean check must be clean. A nurse's examination that reveals a wound cannot render them clean, as the examination is not actually clean. Therefore, in such a case, one should go to a nurse to perform these checks herself. Nurses trained for this know how to conduct the examination without touching the wound area, thus ensuring the check is clean.
