Does an uncomfortable feeling of a kind of wind inside the vagina and anus, without it exiting, invalidate the ablution and necessitate its constant repetition?

A Muslim should not abandon prayer due to waswas (whispers/obsessive thoughts). Doubt about something exiting does not nullify wudu' (ablution) until one is certain of hearing a sound or detecting a smell, because these waswas are from Satan. If one is certain that something has exited, then the wudu' is nullified, and one should disregard these waswas and assume the original state of purity. As for the emission of wind from a woman's front private part (qubul), it does not nullify wudu' because it does not exit from an impure place.
