Is there any reason to assume that a woman may or may not go to Mikvah when she has a non-life threatening illness that may be made worse by going (eg., flu, strep, ear infection)? What if both she and her husband are ill? (This is indirectly relevant, VeHaMevin YaVin.) Does it matter if she may be contagious? |

There will be a great deal of particulars depending on the case; I strongly recommend you contact yoatzot.org, who have dealt with dozens (hundreds) of such cases. Deena Zimmerman published an article in Tradition a few years ago specifically addressing mikvah concerns that have arisen in cases of breast cancer, in which all piskei halacha have been validated by Rabbi Yehuda Herzl Henkin, shlit'a. |
