Abstract

One of the common endocrine diseases in women of childbearing age is Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Its clinical characteristics include hyperandrogenemia, insulin resistance, abnormal follicle development, and obesity, among others. One of the leading causes of infertility in women of childbearing age is polycystic ovary syndrome, yet its pathogenesis remains not clear. The intestinal flora can impact the physiological and pathological conditions of the body, playing a crucial role in various metabolic and other diseases. Growing evidence suggests that the intestinal flora may trigger key clinical manifestations of PCOS, such as insulin resistance and hyperandrogenemia. Therefore, the intestinal flora dysregulation could be related to the onset and progression of PCOS. The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the vital function of intestinal flora in PCOS by examining prior research findings on the correlation between intestinal flora and major clinical manifestations in polycystic ovary syndrome patients, including insulin resistance, hyperandrogenemia, obesity, and impaired follicle release.
