Natural methods of contraception work on the principle of avoiding chances of meeting ovum and sperms. Examples include lactational amenorrhea, periodic abstinence and coitus interruptus.

$\bullet$ These methods are cost-effective.

$\bullet$ These do not cause any side effects.

$\bullet$ These are non invasive and do not involve surgery and hence, can easily be reversed. Artificial methods such as surgical methods (vasectomy and tubectomy) of contraception are irreversible.

$\bullet$ These do not interfere with the sexual drive and sexual act.
