What is the difference between mani (spermatic fluid) and madhi (pre-seminal fluid)? And what is the nature of the yellowish, viscous fluid that is discharged after feeling arousal or excitement, has no odor, and is not followed by a cessation of arousal?

The yellowish discharge from a woman is not considered semen because it does not possess the complete characteristics of semen, so you are not required to perform (ritual bath) because of it. However, it nullifies ablution (wudu') because it exits from the usual private part.
