What can be done for sore waist and back and premature ejaculation? What are the methods for replenishing Qi?
The patient is 30 years old, experiencing chronic lower back pain and fatigue accompanied by premature ejaculation, suspecting Qi deficiency, and wants to know how to replenish Qi to improve the current condition?

Low back pain accompanied by premature ejaculation, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, may be due to kidney deficiency with depletion of essence or insufficient kidney yang. Kidney deficiency can lead to low back pain due to lack of nourishment to the lumbar region, while insufficient kidney yang may cause abnormal reproductive function manifesting as premature ejaculation. Qi deficiency often presents as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and reluctance to speak, and may be related to congenital insufficiency, acquired neglect, chronic illness, or prolonged physical strain.
It is recommended to seek medical advice for a comprehensive examination. For suspected qi deficiency, measures such as dietary adjustment, exercise, and herbal therapy may be employed to replenish qi. In terms of diet, foods with qi-replenishing properties, such as Chinese yam, red dates, longan, and chicken stewed with Astragalus membranaceus (Huang Qi), may be consumed. Exercise, such as Tai Chi and Baduanjin (Eight Pieces of Brocade), traditional health-preserving exercises, can help promote circulation of qi and blood and enhance physical strength.
Herbal therapy should be based on specific syndrome differentiation results and prescriptions such as Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Decoction for Supplementing the Middle and Invigorating Qi) should be used under the guidance of a physician. Additionally, maintaining regular作息 habits, avoiding excessive fatigue, staying up late, and excessive sexual activity is important. Moderation in sexual life, maintaining a cheerful mood, reducing mental stress, and comprehensive regulation of bodily functions are all essential.
