Abstract
As the number of infertility treatment patients increases in line with social changes, such as women entering the workforce and marrying later in life, balancing infertility treatment and work has become a major issue. Most patients undergoing infertility treatment do not want to inform their workplaces that they are undergoing infertility treatment1. Still, because of the impact on working hours of the infertility treatment visits, they are forced to inform their workplaces. In this study, to search for solutions to support women balancing infertility treatment with career continuity, we searched for previous studies that investigated infertility treatment and work. Then we referred to studies and proposed solutions regarding reducing hospital visit time and its impact on work, which impede the balancing of both. We attempted to review the papers. As a result, it was found that there needed to be existing academic papers or books that proposed solutions for reducing treatment time. However, some proposed solutions for psychological problems were found.
