Is Gout And Loss Of Bladder Control Related?

recently i suffered the worst case of gout ever. I couldn't walk for a week and am only just recovering. I had the same problem 2 month previous. Now I have cut out all beer and am taking concentrated cherry drink.

Thing is I have also lost some power when I go to the toilet for a pee. Is this connected?

Hello, Those problems are probably not connected. You need to see a urologist about the lost power to urinate.
In addition your doctor may need to put you on a medication to lower your uric acid so that you do not continue getting gout flares.
Not drinking beer is a great idea also.
