The answer

The basic ruling concerning blood that returns after years of cessation is that it is menstrual blood, as long as its duration does not exceed fifteen days. The wife must make up the days she fasted, because the fast of a menstruating woman is invalid by consensus.

In matters of Sharia, one must refer to scholars, not doctors.
