You must ignore whisperings and pay no attention to them. If you doubt what has exited, whether it is manī (seminal fluid) or something else, then ghusl (ritual bath) is not obligatory upon you, and your prayers and fasting are valid. Do not perform ghusl unless you have certain conviction that manī, which necessitates ghusl, has exited. Yellowish and brownish discharges are not considered menstruation unless they occur during the customary period or are connected to blood.
