A traditional Chinese medicine compound composition with effect of improving male sexual function and its application are disclosed. The disclosure prepares the traditional Chinese medicine compound composition by compounding Semen Allii Tuberosi with Radix Morindae Officinalis, Epimedii Folium, Cistanche deserticola Ma and Semen Cuscutae. The traditional Chinese medicine compound composition has a good effect on improving the sexual function of kidney Yang deficiency model mice. While improving sexual function, it can improve the abundance of spermatogenic cells in testicular seminiferous tubules, ensure that spermatogenic cells can continuously produce new sperm, and improve the number and morphology of sperm in the lumen. Moreover, the disclosed traditional Chinese medicine compound composition can be used as a raw material of dietary supplement or health food for the male population with low sexual function and easy fatigue. Therefore, the disclosed traditional Chinese medicine compound composition is suitable for market promotion and application.
