JAKARTA - Gout disease often causes severe pain. This condition is a form of joint inflammation that often attacks the thumb of the leg, and many patients complain of painful symptoms.
Reporting from the Mirror page, the main cause of gout is usually related to consumption of high purbin foods such as red meat, jeroan, seafood, and alcohol. As a result, the level of gout in the body increases and accumulates in joints.
So far, many gout medicines rely on drugs that are sold freely or doctor's prescriptions. However, a recent study provides a new view, namely that active sexual life can actually help relieve the symptoms of gout.
The study, led by Dr Andrea Sansone from the University of Rome Tor Vergata, reviews the relationship between gout and sexual problems such as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. The results show that a person's sexual health plays a role in the management of gout.
The study found that healthy sexual activity could have a positive impact on controlling this disease. Emotional and physical relationships with partners are also said to be able to improve the patient's quality of life and help them be more disciplined in undergoing treatment.
There is a clear reciprocal relationship, namely gout can affect sexual performance. But on the other hand, the good quality of sexual life can also support overall gout management.
This finding was welcomed by health experts. They considered that a more holistic approach to gout medicine, including paying attention to psychological and sexual aspects, could help patients be more obedient to the therapy being carried out.
Dr. Mark Russell, a reumatologist from King's College London, emphasized the importance of compliance with treatments such as allopurinol in the long term. He also added that partner support greatly affects the success of gout management.
