Popular Japanese comedian Kumicky recently opened up about her difficult journey towards motherhood. She revealed an often unspoken struggle many women face: the challenging processes of fertility treatments. After attempting to start a family for some time, she decided to share her personal experience to shed light on the matter and inspire others going through similar situations.

In Japan, where the declining birth rate is a serious issue, discussions about fertility and the challenges many women face silently are growing. Topics that have long been considered private, such as fertility treatments, are starting to gain more recognition. Celebrities like Kumicky sharing their experiences is part of this change, which also involves a growing openness in Japanese society.

In the US and EU, infertility and fertility treatments have long been subjects of public discussion. Celebrities and public figures opening up about their experiences have helped to destigmatize these issues. Compared to this, Japan is still in the early stages of such discussions but is making progress.
