Dr. Sulbha Arora

Consultant in reproductive medicine, covering fertility treatment alongside the hormonal and structural conditions that affect it — polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, fibroids and recurrent miscarriage. Success in fertility treatment depends most on age, ovarian reserve and sperm quality, and an honest consultation gives you a figure for your own situation rather than a clinic average.

What this specialist treats

Fertility treatment together with the hormonal and structural conditions that affect it — polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, fibroids, recurrent miscarriage and disorders of the menstrual cycle. Treating the underlying condition and treating the infertility are frequently the same job.

When you would be referred

Difficulty conceiving, two or more miscarriages, irregular or absent periods, or a known diagnosis such as endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome where pregnancy is the goal.

At the first consultation

Expect assessment of both partners, ovarian reserve testing, and imaging of the uterus and ovaries. Success depends most on age, ovarian reserve and sperm quality, and an honest consultation gives you a figure for your own situation rather than a clinic average — including when that figure is low, which is precisely when it matters most.

What to bring, and what to ask

Previous hormone results, ultrasound and hysteroscopy reports, records of any miscarriage investigation, and details of earlier treatment cycles with doses and outcomes. Worth asking: what specifically is being treated, what is our realistic chance per cycle, how many cycles is it reasonable to attempt, and what would make you advise stopping or changing approach.
