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.
