Increasing misinformation on the dangers of the Pill is leading to unplanned pregnancies, doctors warn
Influencers such as Nicole Bendayan say giving up the pill gave them more energy, better skin and improved mental health.
Doctors say a barrage of misinformation about the contraceptive pill is leading to unplanned pregnancies as women switch to natural methods.
Influencers, including tech billionaire Elon Musk, have urged women to reject the contraceptive method saying it is unnatural, causes serious mental health problems, weight gain and low libido.
Earlier this month, Mr Musk, who has 11 children, posted on his X social media platform: “Hormonal birth control makes you fat, doubles risk of depression and triples risk of suicide.
“This is the clear scientific consensus, but very few people seem to know it.”
