“…Lundy et al [13] found that there were certain compositional and functional differences in the gut, urine, and semen microbiota between infertile and healthy males, and the imbalance among the three promoted the occurrence of male infertility. Kang et al [14] compared the composition of GM of patients with ED with that of healthy people; the results showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups, and they believed that Actinomyces may be a key pathogen. GM can affect male reproductive function through inflammation, metabolism, sex hormones, and other ways, which need further research [3].…”

Reproductive health is an important issue for humanity. In the context of the increasing incidence rate of male infertility, it is essential to find the factors that affect male reproductive health. Gastrointestinal health is closely related to reproductive health. Gastrointestinal hormones (GIH) and gut microbiota (GM), as important material foundations for gastrointestinal function, can promote or inhibit testicular reproductive function, including spermatogenesis, sperm maturation, androgen synthesis, and even broader male diseases such as sexual function, prostate cancer, etc. On the contrary, the functional health of the testes is also of great significance for the stability of gastrointestinal function. This review mainly discusses the important regulatory effects of GIH and GM on male reproductive function.
