* However, this entire discussion is only relevant to not considering her to be a roah machmat tashmish, a woman who sees blood from tashmish. In terms of making her a niddah, Taharat Habayit v. 1 p. 230 writes that it certainly does make her a niddah. That is based on the Tzemach Tzedek responsa 86 and the Shach 187:20.</ref> | * However, this entire discussion is only relevant to not considering her to be a roah machmat tashmish, a woman who sees blood from tashmish.

# According to Ashkenazim, if a woman knows that she has a wound which she knows previously bled and hasn't healed<ref>The Laws of Niddah v. 1 p. 430 terms this a bleeding wound and cites the Chazon Ish YD 82:1 who writes that a bleeding wound is one which if touched with a cloth would leave a stain on the cloth.</ref>, when she sees next, she can assume that the blood is from the wound unless it is her veset or onah beynonit.<ref>The Rama YD 187:5 holds like the Mordechai and Tosfot that a woman needs to know that the wound actually previously bled in order to assume that the blood came from there. However, even such a wound is insufficient during a veset since she has to become tameh at some point and the halacha suspects that she’ll see at her next veset or onah beynonit. Shach 187:25 clarifies that this halacha applies to purify a woman to her husband in general (and not just for a woman who sees blood during tashmish).</ref> | # According to Ashkenazim, if a woman knows that she has a wound which she knows previously bled and hasn't healed<ref>The Laws of Niddah v. 1 p. 430 terms this a bleeding wound and cites the Chazon Ish YD 82:1 who writes that a bleeding wound is one which if touched with a cloth would leave a stain on the cloth.</ref>, when she sees next, she can assume that the blood is from the wound unless it is her veset or onah beynonit.<ref>The Rama YD 187:5 holds like the Mordechai and Tosfot that a woman needs to know that the wound actually previously bled in order to assume that the blood came from there.

# It is usually assumed that if a physician can see a wound that he knows usually bleeds she is tahor.<ref>Taharat Habayit v. 1 p. 243. The Laws of Niddah v. 1 p. 431, though see footnote for his hesitation.</ref> | # It is usually assumed that if a physician can see a wound that he knows usually bleeds she is tahor.<ref>Taharat Habayit v. 1 p. 243.

Rav Hershel Schachter (cited in Laws and Concepts of Niddah by Rabbi Zvi Sobolofsky pg. 306, says that since the gemara (and brought as halacha in Shulchan Aruch 190:31) allows for passing 7 ingredients over a ketem to wash it with to determine if the blood is uterine or from a wound, means that science can be trusted to determine such a thing. </ref> | ||
