It is best to maintain a cleaning time of 2-3 minutes to remove semen and glandular secretions attached to the external genitalia, ensuring the cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia.

In addition to cleaning, women should promptly discharge urine after sexual intercourse, flush the urethra with urine, and then clean their private areas, which is healthier. It can prevent urinary tract infections and flush out bacteria from the urethra.
