The presence of women in genitourinary (GU) specialty training and practice has lagged significantly behind other fields. Current challenges include maternity leave, sexual harassment, and pay disparities. Despite these obstacles, the prevalence of women in GU specialty training has risen rapidly. One consequence of retiring male providers and higher numbers of female graduates will be a notable demographic shift in the percentage of GU care provided by these younger women. It will be essential to anticipate and acknowledge the unique concerns of this workforce, particularly in light of the concomitant aging of the US population and the associated increase in demand for GU care.
女性在泌尿生殖（GU）专业培训和实践中的参与度明显落后于其他领域。当前面临的挑战包括产假、性骚扰和薪酬差距。尽管存在这些障碍，但女性在 GU 专业培训中的比例迅速上升。男性医生退休和女性毕业生人数增加的一个后果是，由这些年轻女性提供的 GU 护理的比例将出现显著的人口统计学变化。必须预测并承认这一劳动力群体的独特关注点，特别是考虑到美国人口的老龄化以及随之而来的对 GU 护理需求的增加。
