Our study marks the first comprehensive analysis of gut microbiota composition in FHA and the impact of HRT on it, along with biochemical, anthropometric, and psychometric aspects. Our results indicate distinct gut microbiota composition in patients with FHA compared with healthy individuals. Importantly, HRT prompts a transition toward a more beneficial gut microbiota profile and reduced inflammation. This study validates the concept of FHA as a multifaceted disorder interlinked with dysbiosis, particularly involving the gut-brain axis.
