Alcohol Intake-Induced Aggravation of Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome is Associated with Reduced Gut Microbiota-Driven Short-Chain Fatty Acid Propionate and Butyrate
This study preliminarily explores the potential association between alcohol and CP/CPPS, in which short-chain fatty acid-producing gut flora may play a key role. This study may enhance the understanding of the effect of alcohol on CP/CPPS and provide a preliminary foundation for formulating prevention strategies. The main limitation of this study is the small sample size, and further large-scale plus in-depth research ought to be carried out in the future.
