Abstract:
The gut microbiota is a complex community of microorganisms that inhabit the human gastrointestinal tract, helping to maintain the ecological balance of the body's internal and external environments. Disruptions in the composition and diversity of gut microbiota, as well as changes in their metabolic functions, can link to the development and severity of conditions such as premature ovarian insufficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome, and ovarian tumors. This article thoroughly reviews recent research on the connection between gut microbiota and ovarian diseases, providing fresh perspectives on their prevention, pathogenesis, and treatment.
