Bleeding associated with the procedure is
dam makkah, blood from a wound, and not
dam niddah. However, its effect on your status will depend on a few factors.
If the procedure is done while you are
niddah, before you have done a
hefsek taharah, you will not be able to begin the
clean days until you have an acceptable
hefsek taharah. Blood of a
niddah color would invalidate a
hefsek taharah, even if it seems to be from the procedure.
If the procedure is done during the clean days, you will be able to attribute bleeding to the procedure for the first few days. In general, you would omit
bedikot after the procedure, and perform a
bedikah on the seventh clean day. If necessary, please get back to us for specific guidance.
If you are
tehorah at the time of the procedure, bleeding during the first few days could be attributed to the procedure and would not make you
niddah. If bleeding overlaps with a
veset day, you would seek further halachic guidance.
Please write back with any further questions.
