The role of gut microbiota in prostate inflammation and benign prostatic hyperplasia and its therapeutic implications.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The gut microbiota thrives in a complex ecological environment and its dynamic balance is closely related to host health. Recent studies have shown that the occurrence of various diseases including prostate inflammation is related to the dysregulation of the gut microbiome.

Objective

This review focus on the mechanisms by which the gut microbiota induces prostate inflammation and benign prostatic hyperplasia and its therapeutic implications.

Materials and methods

Publications related to gut microbiota, prostate inflammation, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) until April 2023 were systematically reviewed. The research questions were formulated using the Problem, Intervention, Comparison/Control, and Outcome (PICO) frameworks.
