Is the fluid that exits about 10 minutes after urination (preceded by sleep) considered normal and not impure, and is it permissible to pray immediately after it, or should a doctor be consulted?

The discharge that necessitates is semen only. As for pre-seminal fluid () and prostatic fluid (wady), they do not necessitate ghusl; rather, it is sufficient to wash the private parts and whatever they have touched, and then perform ablution (wudu'). The fluid mentioned is wady, which is impure (najis) and invalidates ablution, and its ruling is the same as that of urine. If it discharges ten minutes after urination, then wait until it stops, then perform ablution.
