Hello,

Uric acid of 9.8 mg/dL is very high (normal upper limit ~7.0 mg/dL for men). You are suffering from pain in the private area. It suggests pressure-related pain from sitting long on hard surfaces can irritate nerves or cause prostatitis in young men. You are advised to get clinically examined by a urologist to detect if you are suffering from prostatitis, as you should be treated for it if diagnosed or your discomfort will worsen.

Such high uric acid levels may be indicative of gout. If you are suffering from gout, you are advised to avoid taking red meat, organ meat, seafood, and alcohol. Drinking plenty of water (to flush uric acid). Regular exercises and walking is very important. Add more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains for a wholesome diet. Take berries. Take a balanced homemade diet.

Your elevated uric acid should reduce with strict diet control. In case your uric acid level does not come down, you may need medicine (like allopurinol). Avoid taking Herbalife formula 1 shake at present, though plant-based proteins (like soy) do not raise uric acid levels as much as animal proteins or purine-rich foods. But presently, you can't take any type of protein supplements, as your uric acid level has gone too high. Focus on strict diet control so that your raised uric acid level will come down.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
