Does high uric acid affect sexual function

Strong sexual function is enough to make men proud, but in real life, many men have poor sexual function, but they don’t know what the reasons are. Some people say that high uric acid will affect sexual function. Is there any scientific basis for this statement? Why does high uric acid affect sexual function? What are the dangers of high uric acid levels? Is there any way to lower uric acid to a normal range?

1. Does high uric acid affect sexual function? High uric acid generally does not directly affect sexual function. However, if uric acid levels are high for a long time, kidney stones will occur, which will in turn affect kidney function. There is a certain probability that kidney function decline will cause sexual dysfunction.

Low male sexual desire is closely related to many bad habits. Some men are addicted to alcohol, which leads to alcohol poisoning. Long-term smoking leads to nicotine poisoning. Some men even take drugs. These situations are very likely to lead to low male sexual desire and fertility problems.

Sexual life between men and women is supposed to be carried out in a happy mood. If men have some long-term psychological barriers, marital discord, or too much physical and mental labor, it will lead to low male sexual desire. 2. The harm of high uric acid

If high uric acid levels are not controlled for a long time, tophi will form. When tophi are deposited in the joints, they can induce gouty arthritis. Gout patients with gouty arthritis will experience joint numbness, severe pain, swelling, skin fever, dark redness and other obvious adverse symptoms, which have a great impact on the patient's normal life.

In patients with persistent hyperuricemia, 20% will show clinical manifestations of renal disease. After several years or longer, renal tubules and glomeruli may be damaged successively, and a small number may develop into uremia. Severely high uric acid levels can lead to renal failure, but this period usually occurs in late-stage gout patients.

3. How to lower uric acid? 1. Drink more water. Patients with high uric acid should drink more boiled water or light tea, and it is best to control the daily urine output to around 3000ml. You can use diuretic acid-lowering tea and barley porridge to lower uric acid, and drink less hot beverages.

2. Try to choose low-purine foods. Daily purine intake should not exceed 300 mg. Low-purine foods include rice, corn, eggs, milk, various vegetables and fruits, etc.

3. Eat less or no meat, fish, seafood, animal offal, soy products and other high-purine foods. It is recommended to specifically record the purine content of various common foods and restrain your desire to eat them.

4. Avoid excessive calorie intake. Calorie intake should be enough to maintain an ideal body weight. Obese or overweight people should reduce calorie intake and lose weight as soon as possible.

5. The purine in food will be greatly reduced after blanching in boiling water, so you can eat more cold dishes and avoid drinking vegetable soup, hot pot soup and other soups containing high purine.

6. Patients with high uric acid also need to quit smoking and drinking, as both smoking and drinking can cause increased uric acid.

7. Go to the hospital regularly to check uric acid concentration so that you can know the level and control it.
