Pros Of Using Contraceptives

THE SKIN:
Research studies have evinced a connection between the use of contraceptives and dampened acne. It cannot directly be deciphered that contraceptives reduce acne but studies have evinced a rather distinct connection. Androgens, chemicals produced by contraceptives, help in regulating oil in the skin.

Protection from diseases:
Contraceptives help in reducing the risk of certain deadly diseases including pelvic inflammatory disease, anaemia, ovarian deficiency and uverine cancer. Contraceptives, owing to their chemical combination, can serve to block the proliferation of cancer cells in women. This is perhaps one of the biggest advantages of contraceptives.

Sexually transmitted diseases:
It isn't just condoms that provide protection against sexually transmitted diseases. Contraceptives are formidable options as well. It is a scientifically established fact that contraceptives are highly effective in precluding sexually transmitted diseases. Although condoms are effective, they aren't completely effective in birth control. Moreover, they sometimes fail to prevent the onset of disease that are transmitted sexually, diseases that include gonorrhoea, Chlamydia, HIV, herpes and syphilis. So you can consider using contraceptives, for they are definitely better options.

Reduced level of Pain during Menstrual Flow:
This is another advantage of using contraceptives. Sometimes, during the menstrual phase, cramps are caused due to muscle complications. By using contraceptives, apart from preventing cramps, pain is also greatly reduced.
This sums up the major advantages of using contraceptives.
