In this episode, Ruth Blackham talks with Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist Dr Eman Al-Naggar about polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), why it impacts ovulation and fertility, and how bariatric surgery can help many women regain regular cycles and improve chances of pregnancy.

We cover practical advice on waiting 12–18 months or until weight is stable before conceiving, the importance of monitoring iron, vitamin D and B12 after surgery, and the value of multidisciplinary care; while many women conceive after surgery, other fertility factors may still need investigation.
