The answer

What is visible of a woman's private parts when relieving herself is considered external, whereas the area where menstruation flows and what lies beneath it is considered internal. If a woman's finger reaches this internal area, her fast is invalidated. The inside of the anus is also considered internal, and scholars have differed on whether inserting a finger into it invalidates the fast.
