The answer

A woman must examine the characteristics of the discharge to treat it according to what is legally required. If she is uncertain about the matter, she should choose the ruling of one of the possibilities she is unsure about. So, if she doubts whether it is mani (seminal fluid) or vaginal discharge, and she chooses to consider it vaginal discharge and suffices with wudu (ablution), then her action is correct.
