This review focuses on the characteristics of gut microbiota in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). By analyzing current literature, we will focus on the alterations in gut microbiota composition, influential factors, and the pathophysiological mechanisms linking gut microbiota and PCOS, diagnostic approaches, therapeutic strategies, as well as controversies and future directions in this field are discussed. Understanding these relationships may provide insights into the disease mechanism and highlight novel treatment strategies for managing PCOS.Keywords: polycystic ovary syndrome, gut microbiota, metabolic abnormalities, microbiome, endocrine disorders |
