Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
The advice by the Aalima was correct. You should continue the 15-10 day cycle until your situation normalizes. Fifteen days will be Istihaaza and the next ten days will be haiz.
During Istihaza, make wuzu for each salah. Intercourse during istihaza is permissible.
And Allah knows best
