Is my worship valid despite being afflicted with obsessive-compulsive disorder, which makes me doubt the emission of semen after urination, leading me to perform ghusl, and I have resolved to abandon this waswas and not pay attention to it?

Do not pay attention to these whisperings (waswas) nor give them any importance. Do not perform (ritual bath) no matter how much Satan whispers to you about semen exiting. What exits after urination that resembles semen is al-wady, and it only necessitates wudu (ablution), not ghusl. Completely ignore these whisperings and do not give in to them, because giving in to whisperings leads to great evil. Your acts of worship are valid, God willing.
