Is the semen that necessitates ghusl (ritual bathing) meant to be the wadī (a thick white discharge that sometimes appears after urination), which causes foam in the urine and exits with the urine due to prostate congestion, and does the recurrence of this necessitate ghusl and delay prayer?

This discharge that comes after urination, which resembles semen, is called wady. It is impure and necessitates istinjāʾ (washing the private parts) and wuḍūʾ (ablution) for prayer, but it does not necessitate ghusl (ritual bath). It is advisable to consult doctors.
