The drop discharged from the anus due to constipation is not considered menses and does not affect the fast. Similarly, if it is discharged from the front and is not accompanied by signs of menstruation, and does not continue for a duration suitable for menses. A single drop is not menses, contrary to the Maliki school. Your prayers and recitation are valid and will be rewarded, Allah willing. However, this drop nullifies ablution (wudu) and requires purification ('). White discharges are considered pure vaginal fluids (rutubat farj) that nullify ablution.
