The yellowish and brownish discharges connected to blood are considered menses, and one must abstain from prayer, fasting, and all other acts prohibited for a menstruating woman as long as these discharges are visible. As for the white discharges that follow, they are not considered menses. Upon the cessation of the yellowish and brownish discharges, a woman must perform (ritual purification bath) and is then considered pure, whether she sees white discharges or not.
