Rabbis and menstrual cycles?

This is what it refers to. News to me.

SUMMARY

Religious orthodox Jewish women must wait seven “clean-days” and take a ritual bath before having sexual intercourse with a partner again. Women test whether menstruation has stopped depending on the shape or colour of the discharge left in a pad. These women are then required to consult with a rabbi who carefully inspects the nature of the stains in order to give the “green light”. Women dread this consultation; they wish they could practice their faith without encountering embarrassing and time-consuming acts like this.
