Gut bacteria might play an important role in male reproductive disorders, such as male infertility and sperm abnormalities; however, their causal role is unclear. Herein, Mendelian randomization (MR)-Egger, weighted median, inverse variance weighting, Simple mode, and Weighted mode were used to test the causal relationship between gut microbes and male reproductive diseases. The MR results were validated using...
