Answer:
God only expects you to follow the regulations of worship within your capacity. He does not want you to be in any hardship for the sake of worshiping Him. This is the general spirit of the acts of worship as we learn from the Qur’an.
What you can do is that before each prayer make yourself clean and then start your prayers. If during the prayer you become unclean that would be fine, just carry on and finish the prayer. You do not need to repeat it.
This is based on my assumption that since this happens on hourly basis it is easy to clean it before a prayer. If my assumption is not correct, meaning, there could be situations where it will become quite difficult to keep cleaning yourself for every prayer, then in those particular situations you do not need to bother about fully cleaning yourself. You can just clean as much as possible with normal effort, and then perform your prayer.
