In Paris or elsewhere, psychologists are increasingly consulted to treat infertility problems. Indeed, since many doctors and psychoanalysts have highlighted the role of the psyche in infertility disorders, it appears that the treatment of infertility in most cases involves psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.
For a long time, the influence of the psyche in infertility was largely underestimated so much so that after a certain number of more or less invasive medical or surgical interventions, infertility could be considered inevitable. However, the psychoanalytic clinic makes it possible to highlight that infertility is most often linked to psychological casualties.
The case of a barren woman who became pregnant with psychoanalysis
Recently, a 37-year-old woman came to visit me because she is suffering from not being able to get pregnant. She was diagnosed with “polycystic ovary syndrome” and the head doctor was unambiguous about her request for IVF: “she cannot get pregnant”. Given the analysis results, IVF was refused. However, despite the doctor's "prediction", this psychoanalyst continued her psychoanalysis and after a few weeks, she became pregnant.
Is it a miracle? Is this the effect of divine intervention?
Certainly not. This situation, like many similar situations, highlights the weight of psychological difficulties in infertility, as in many bodily disorders. If the role of stress on hormones is no longer in doubt, more and more research highlights the preponderant role of psychoanalysis in the treatment of fertility disorders.
For those who are interested in this research, a study day will take place soon on “Psychoanalysis, gynaecology and maternity”.
