Thin Streak of Red for Niddah

Dear rabbi

I have a question regarding Hilchos niddah: after relations the wife wipes her self on a white towel and by mistake looks at it and finds a long thin thread of red, is she tameh?

Important to know is that she is ten days before being “samuch laveset” and after ten years of marriage she has never seen after relations.

Another important point is that the red line combined will not add up to 19mm and she has an injury (with blood) in her rectum.

Thank you for your help.

Answer:

From the description given the stain will not be large enough for her to be considered Niddah.

As you note, it is better to avoid “seeing” such stains.

Best wishes.
