Why Are Indians Facing More Fertility Problems Than Ever? | Dr. Sulbha Arora x Dr. Pal

Why are more couples struggling with infertility today? What is the best age to plan a pregnancy, and does IVF really work? In this episode of Gut Feeling with Dr. Pal, fertility specialist Dr. Sulbha Arora explains the science behind fertility, pregnancy, IVF and egg freezing. The conversation explores how fertility changes with age, why ovarian reserve may decline earlier in Indian women, and how tests such as AMH and antral follicle count can help assess reproductive health. Dr. Sulbha also explains when women should consider egg freezing and what couples should know before starting IVF. The episode also highlights that infertility is not only a female issue. Male factors are involved in nearly 50% of infertility cases. The doctors discuss semen testing, declining sperm quality, obesity, smoking, poor sleep, stress, lack of exercise, plastics and environmental toxins that may affect fertility. Whether you are planning a baby, considering IVF or simply want to understand your reproductive health better, this conversation offers essential information every couple should know.
