MISHNAH: The person with gonorrhea who had an emission of semen, as well as a menstruating woman who lost semen, and the woman who started menstruating while having intercourse, need immersion, but Rebbi Yehudah frees them

HALAKHAH: So far the person with gonorrhea who had an emission of semen; is it good for anything if the person immerses himself who had an emission and afterwards has an episode of gonorrhea? We hear it from this: “The woman who started menstruating while having intercourse needs immersion, but Rebbi Yehudah frees her.”

What is Rebbi Yehudah’s reason? Is it because what would one profit if he immersed himself or whether there is a name for light impurity in the presence of severe impurity? What is the difference between these possibilities? If he saw qeri, if you say what would one profit if he immersed himself, he would profit! Hence, the only reason is that there is no name for light impurity in the presence of severe impurity!

That is if the light impurity came at the end. Is it even if the severe impurity came at the end? We may understand it from this: “The woman who started menstruating while having intercourse needs immersion, but Rebbi Yehudah frees her.” That means, one case is like the other case.
