The answer indicates that the questioner is afflicted with waswasah (obsessive whispering/doubts), and the cure for it is to ignore them. It clarifies that a woman ascertains menstruation by seeing blood on the outer vulva, and she is not required to inspect or search for its discharge; for the default state is purity, and if she doubts, she should not pay attention to the doubt. It emphasizes the principle, "The original state remains as it was until certain and definitive conviction of its removal is attained."
