What are the benefits of using a natural birth control?
assistant
The most obvious benefit of using a natural birth control method is that it’s free from side effects. Natural methods like condoms, diaphragms, and cervical caps do not contain hormones or other synthetic materials, so they are generally considered safer than traditional contraceptives. Additionally, natural methods can be used in conjunction with other forms of birth control to further reduce risk. 2 Another advantage of natural birth control methods is their ease of use. Many of these methods require no special training or equipment, making them more accessible for couples who may not have access to modern medical care. 3 A third benefit is that natural birth control methods tend to be less expensive than traditional options. For example, condoms can cost as little as $0.01 per condom while hormonal implants can cost up to $1,000. 4 Finally, many natural birth control methods provide protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including HIV/AIDS. This is especially important since STDs can increase the risk of pregnancy.
