Erectile dysfunction is a frequent disorder but it is still difficult to speak and even accept, it is estimated that between 10 and 50% of men between 40 and 70 years have episodes with erection problems.

When there is no ability to maintain a firm erection and the problem becomes constant, there are ways to treat the problem, but sometimes it is accompanied by other symptoms the most common: gout.

According to the University of Keele in the United Kingdom, hyperuricemia is a disease such as gout, which is suffered by having a high level of uric acid (about 7%), which causes severe pain and redness and swelling of the joints.

In a study applied to 48 thousand men for 10 years, it was discovered that men with gout have a 31% higher risk of suffering erectile dysfunction, than men who do not have that condition.

The problem is that the penis can get joint problems that get worse over time, so up to 63% of men in the study, reported problems of firmness in their erection.

Influential factors

The relationship between gout and erectile dysfunction is related to smoking, obesity, body mass index and excessive alcohol consumption.

The accumulation of plaques in the blood vessels is what hinders blood flow, and this is a very important component to obtain an erection.

So it is advisable to go to the doctor before any suspicion that this problem may be occurring.
