Abstract: Male reproductive endocrine disorders mainly manifest the abnormalities of hypothalamic- pituitary-testicular axis，in which testicular lesion is the central position because of testicular functions of androgen synthesis and sperm production. The basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine that "the kidney essence leads reproduction" and "Liver leads dispersion", and that the "kidneys"，"tiangui" and "liver" were newly understood in Chinese medicine, is similar to the theoretical understanding on modern reproductive endocrinology. In recent years，Chinese medicine has been generally used in male reproductive endocrine disorders with a certain efficiency. In this paper，we reviewed the application of Chinese medicine in disorders of adolescent development (including precocious and delayed puberty)，late-onset hypogonadism and hyperprolactin?鄄
emia. We emphasized that "kidney" in Chinese medicine，the core of reproductive endocrinology，presides over reproduction which is similar to the reproductive axis. "Kidney Qi" and "kidney essence" predict the function of reproductive endocrinology and fertility. The methods of "reinforcing kidney" and "soothing liver" by regulating reproductive axis with Chinese medicine is the most common therapeutic methods to regulate androgen level. However, it is necessary in future to do more study on evidence-based medicine with large samples and intensive study on mechanism.
