We advise you to consult trustworthy doctors for treatment. Furthermore, prayer performed with a correct and certain purification takes precedence over congregational prayer. If you are overcome by the emission of impurities when going to the mosque, you will not be sinful for praying alone, and your prayer is valid if you perform it fulfilling its conditions, pillars, and obligations, even if you shorten it.
