Beyond the reproductive tract: gut microbiome and its influence on gynecological health.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The analysis of microbiome in association with female health is today a "hot topic" with the main focus on microbes in the female reproductive tract. Nevertheless, recent studies are providing novel information of the possible influence of the gut microbiome on gynecological health outcomes, especially as we start to understand that the gut microbiome is an extended endocrine organ influencing female hormonal levels. This review summarizes the current knowledge of the gut microbes in association with gynecological health.
RECENT FINDINGS: The gut microbiome has been associated with endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, gynecological cancers, and infertility, although there is a lack of consistency and consensus among studies due to different study designs and protocols used, and the studies in general are underpowered.
SUMMARY: The interconnection between the gut microbiome and reproductive health is complex and further research is warranted. The current knowledge in the field emphasizes the link between the microbiome and gynecological health outcomes, with high potential for novel diagnostic and treatment tools via modulation of the microenvironment.
