Ruling on Blood Flow During the Period of Purity

Question
I am 43 years old, and my menstrual blood came from the 13th of Ramadan to the 20th of Ramadan, and then the bleeding stopped. After that, the blood returned for the rest of the month, and it has not stopped until now. I consulted a gynecologist yesterday; she told me that I have a cyst on the ovary, which is the cause of the bleeding. So I do not know if I should pray or not with the continued bleeding?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: This is bleeding due to istihada, not menstruation, and you should pray. And God knows best.
