Many people in the medical profession still view women doctors with skepticism, despite their increasing numbers. In Japan, particularly in the fields of obstetrics and gynecology, women doctors account for about 70% of those entering their twenties; however, the number of male doctors is decreasing. This is because the job of a gynecologist has high risks and low returns: the job involves hard work, with its on-call and out-of-hour commitments, and gynecologists are constantly vulnerable to lawsuits. Therefore, males refrain from choosing the fields of obstetrics and gynecology. However, the work is only present appeal to many female doctors. On the other hand, younger women, due to their childcare responsibilities, are showing a trend toward switching from part-time jobs to full-time jobs or from hospital medicine to general practice. Powerful and influential doctors continue to express fears that the increasing proportion of women and decreasing proportion of men in medicine will lead to a loss of power and influence professional standards. Presently, in Japan, a new system wherein women doctors can have both a career and family life is required. For this, it is necessary to create innovations with regard to hospital benefits for all gynecologists-women and men alike. The development of a system reducing the large amount of on-call and out-of-hour hard work is an urgent need. The government of Japan should introduce more drastic reforms with regard to the gynecological working environment. Further, individual hospitals should have over 10 full-time doctors and a good quality nursery school.
