Abstract:
The etiology of infertility is multifactorial, in addition to fallopian tube factors, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and obesity are also important causes of infertility. As revealed by recent studies, the composition and metabolism of gut microbiota have been considered to influence the occurrence and development of PCOS and obesity, thus impairing women's reproductive health. Based on recent studies on gut microbiota, this article briefly reviews the composition characteristics of gut microbiota involved in PCOS and obese people, as well as potential treatments for PCOS and obesity.
