ABSTRACT
Guided by the theory of "kidney governing reproduction", ancient and present-day physicians treat male infertility mainly by tonifying the kidneys, with some innovation and development based on inheritance. Relating oligoasthenospermia (OAS), the author emphasizes "the kidney as the base and the essence chamber for use", and proposes "the deficiency of kidney essence and disability of the essence chamber" as the core pathogenesis of the disease. Kidney essence deficiency is the primary cause and essence chamber disability is the main factor for the development and progression of OAS. Disorders in the reproductive microenvironment are also important causes of OAS. Studies on the biological basis of the treatment of OAS from the kidney suggest that kidney tonification has a regulatory effect on the reproductive microenvironment. A systematic investigation into the molecular mechanism of "the deficiency of kidney essence and disability of the essence chamber" in the development and pathogenesis of OAS from the perspective of the reproductive microenvironment may provide some evidence for clinical intervention in the biological basis of OAS based on the theory of "kidney governing reproduction".
