Gut Microbiome PCOS

Meaning

Gut Microbiome PCOS describes the complex and increasingly recognized relationship between the composition and functional output of the intestinal microbiota and the pathogenesis or clinical presentation of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Clinical research indicates that a state of gut dysbiosis, characterized by reduced bacterial diversity and an imbalance of species, contributes significantly to the chronic low-grade inflammation and insulin resistance central to PCOS. This area represents a crucial and modifiable link between gastrointestinal health and reproductive endocrinology.
