Based on definition in World Health Organization (WHO), infertility is defined by a couple who cannot successfully fall pregnant with regular and unprotected sexual intercourse for 12 months or longer. Nowadays, 50 % of childless couples is indicated to male infertility due to environmental and mental pressure, as well as some living habit changes. In this case, a 35-year-old male, who had allergic rhinitis, gout, hyperlipidemia, essential hypertension, urinary tract stones, and fatty liver, has been married to his wife for more than 5 years. With regular unprotected intercourse, they are still struggling to have a successful pregnancy. The original purpose of Chinese medicine treatment was for gout, hypertension, and fatty liver. After a semen test for IVF, the analysis indicated that his sperm had irregular shape and poor motility. This combined with a lower libido, he has trouble keeping his erection and has ejaculation dysfunction during intercourses. After receiving more than three months of Chinese medicine treatment, his laboratory parameters had improved effectively and the follow-up semen analysis reports for a whole year the data revealed above standard quality. Therefore, this successful case study report can be a future reference for male infertility with Chinese medicine treatment.
