Exploring gut microbiome alterations and hormonal imbalances in polycystic ovary syndrome: insights from a comparative study

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by hormonal imbalances and metabolic dysregulation. Emerging evidence suggests a significant role of gut microbiota in its pathophysiology. This study explores the composition of the gut microbiota in PCOS patients versus Non-PCOS and its correlation with hormonal levels to understand its potential impact on PCOS. In our analysis of 23 women with PCOS and 24 Non-PCOS, demographic parameters like age and BMI showed n
