Therapeutic Potential of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for Male Sexual Dysfunction: Evidence and Clinical Perspectives
ABSTRACT Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), a microbiome‐based therapy, shows potential in treating male sexual dysfunction. Research into the influence of FMT on male sexual function has recently garnered increasing attention. This review aims to explore the impact of FMT on male sexual function and the underlying mechanisms, and to analyze the current research landscape, focusing on key findings and the challenges faced in this evolving field. By critically reviewing and synthesizing the available literature and research outcomes, we intend to provide foundational insights into FMT applications for male sexual health and to outline potential future research trajectories that could further elucidate its benefits and mechanisms.
