The results reflect the growing understanding that sexuality is a multi-faceted phenomenon affected by organic, hormonal and psychosocial factors. In the discussion, Dr. Singh writes that a patient-physician dialogue is necessary to understand if gout is affecting a patient’s sex life. Additionally, he suggests further studies be performed to determine if optimal gout control can improve the sex lives of gout patients.
