Infertility is a common reproductive issue among couples of childbearing age, with diverse causes. The incidence of male infertility has been on the rise, making it a focus of attention in the field of reproductive health. The causes of male infertility are complex, and Western medicine often employs drug and surgical treatments, but some patients still cannot effectively solve the problem of infertility, necessitating further optimization of treatment plans. Traditional Chinese medicine has achieved remarkable research results in the treatment of infertility, with unique advantages such as syndrome differentiation and treatment, and addressing both symptoms and root causes. In recent years, its clinical application scope has further expanded. Kidney deficiency is closely related to male infertility, so related prescriptions are widely used in the treatment of male infertility. Among them, the Kidney Tonic and Uprightness Decoction is a commonly used prescription for male infertility due to kidney deficiency, with significant clinical effects. However, its effectiveness still needs to be further clarified. Therefore, this paper conducts a review study on the clinical effectiveness of the Kidney Tonic and Uprightness Decoction in the treatment of infertility, aiming to provide certain reference materials for the clinical treatment of male infertility due to kidney deficiency.
