Amrah bint Abdur Rahman said: I heard from Umm al-Mu'mineen, Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), that Lady Umm Habibah bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). She had been suffering from istihada (non-menstrual bleeding) for seven years. She mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and sought a ruling. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "This is not menstrual blood; it is a vein. So perform ghusl and offer prayer." Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: So Lady Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) used to perform ghusl for every prayer and then offer prayer, and when she would sit in the tub, the redness of the blood would appear on the surface of the water, then (after ghusl) she would offer prayer.
