PERAN HIPNOTERAPI DALAM MENINGKATKAN PELUANG KEHAMILAN PADA KASUS INFERTILITAS YANG TIDAK TERJELASKAN: SEBUAH STUDI KASUS

Abstract

Background: Unexplained infertility is a challenging medical diagnosis because, although all test results indicate normal conditions, pregnancy does not occur. This prolonged emotional burden creates an unfavorable neuroendocrine state, thereby affecting reproductive function and reducing the chances of conception. This case study aims to comprehensively and deeply analyze the role of hypnotherapy in addressing psychological barriers and enhancing the chances of pregnancy in a woman diagnosed with infertility. Method: The method used is a single-subject case study with a qualitative descriptive approach to explore changes in the subject's psychological and emotional condition. The research subject was a 34 year-old woman who had experienced primary infertility for 9 years and reported high stress levels due to pressure to conceive. The intervention involved 3 hypnotherapy sessions with a therapy interval of 2 4 weeks and a duration of 3-4 hours per session. Results: Stress levels significantly decreased, and the subject successfully achieved pregnancy in the third month post-hypnotherapy, without the use of any additional fertility treatments or medication. Conclusion: This case study provides initial empirical evidence that hypnotherapy can be an effective and non-invasive tool for addressing the psychological components closely related to unexplained infertility, as well as physiologically facilitating mental health issues.
