Hypnotherapy is more effective than acupressure in the production of prolactin hormone and breast milk among women having given birth with caesarean section

This research aimed to analyze the effectiveness of hypnotherapy compared with acupressure toward the prolactin hormone level and the production of breast milk among women giving birth by caesarean section. The research groups were divided into two groups, namely hypnotherapy-receiving women group and acupressure-receiving women group. The hypnotherapy was done in accordance with the standard and guided by the hypnotherapist. The acupressure was done in the meridian of stomach and small intestine, meridian of kidney, and spleen. There was a significant increase in the prolactin hormone level and production of breast milk before and after the therapy (p < 0.05) for both treatment groups. In the production of prolactin hormone and breast milk, hypnotherapy technique was significantly more effective than acupressure (p < 0.05). It can be concluded that the hypnotherapy is more effective than acupressure in stimulating the production of prolactin hormone and production of breast milk among women giving birth with caesarean section. Thus, hypnotherapy can be the alternative in support of the successful exclusive breast milk feeding.
