I'm a 25-year-old woman who just got married, and my husband is 26. We're not planning to have a baby for at least three more years. However, my husband has been experiencing premature ejaculation. Could this lead to pregnancy? What steps can we take to address this, and what type of protection should I consider?

Yes, premature ejaculation can still lead to pregnancy, as sperm can be present in pre-ejaculatory fluids; to manage this, consider consulting a urologist or sexologist for guidance on treating premature ejaculation, and in the meantime, use condoms or other barrier methods as a reliable form of birth control, and consider emergency contraception like Plan B or i-Pill if you have unprotected sex.

I'm really worried about some issues I've been having since I quit masturbating a year ago. I started when I was 14 and I've heard it can cause issues both mentally and physically. But since I stopped, I've been dealing with things like fatigue, eye floaters, lower back pain, semen leakage, and watery semen. Is it normal to feel so confused and depressed about this, and how can I get relief from these symptoms?

My foreskin covers the glans a bit and I can't fully retract it when I'm erect. Is this something that might need surgery or can it be managed another way?

If your foreskin only covers the glans slightly and you can't retract it fully, it might not need surgery. You could try gentle stretching exercises, or a urologist may recommend steroid creams. Surgery (circumcision) is a last resort if the condition causes pain or recurrent infections.
