The Hefsek
Question
Hello Rabbi,
My wife is after childbirth, thank God.
The bleeding has stopped, but she is afraid to do the hefsek examination, because the area is injured and sensitive.
We wanted to know whether there is a halakhic solution for this?
Answer
I don’t know. Ask someone who is experienced in these matters. I assume that same sensitivity also prevents marital relations.
