I suffer from cervical ectropion from 4 years and have abnormal vaginal discharge ever since. It is getting very difficult to wash my private parts before every salah. Excessive washing is making the vaginal health worse and washing so often caused severe contact dermatitis on hands. Can I combine prayers? And is it sufficient to run water over the private area instead of washing to attain purity?
