There are unique considerations to fertility and pregnancy for women surgeons. Women surgeons often decide to delay pregnancy and childbearing due to concerns of conflict with work and training. This is particularly true for surgical trainees who face many obstacles, including bias from peers and program directors, and work-life conflict. As such, rates of infertility are higher compared with the general population. Women surgeons require assisted reproductive technologies more often than the general population. During pregnancy, there are also additional occupational hazards that are unique to a surgical career. Overall, we must be aware of these issues to support surgeons who decide to become parents during a surgical career.
女性外科医生在生育和怀孕方面有一些独特的考量。由于担心与工作和培训产生冲突，女性外科医生常常决定推迟怀孕和生育。对于面临诸多障碍（包括来自同行和项目主任的偏见以及工作与生活冲突）的外科住院医生而言尤其如此。因此，与普通人群相比，她们的不孕率更高。女性外科医生比普通人群更常需要辅助生殖技术。在怀孕期间，外科职业生涯还存在一些独特的额外职业风险。总体而言，我们必须意识到这些问题，以支持那些决定在外科职业生涯中成为母亲的外科医生。
