A) Emptying the bladder soon after sexual intercourse helps flush out bacteria that may have entered the urethra during intercourse. B) Urinating when first feeling the urge helps prevent urine from sitting in the bladder too long, which can be a breeding ground for bacteria. E) Avoiding tight-fitting clothes over the groin area allows for better air circulation, reducing moisture and the risk of bacterial growth. C and D are incorrect because nylon or synthetic garments can trap moisture and create a breeding ground for bacteria, and wiping from back to front can introduce bacteria from the anal area to the urethra.
