If a woman is certain that semen has been discharged, she must perform ghusl (ritual bath). However, if she doubts its discharge, ghusl is not obligatory. If she doubts whether the discharge is semen or something else, the Shafi'is hold that she may choose between the two and assign it the ruling of one of them. Accordingly, her ablution and prayer are valid.
