Is Gout a "Man's Disease"? Learn How This Myth is Affecting Women

One of the most compelling reasons that gout in women is more than just a pain problem came from a woman named Wendy, one of the subjects of a 2015 study by Keele University and the University of Oxford.

When asked if she thought it made a difference being a woman with gout, Wendy answered yes. She said it’s because she couldn’t wear the shoes she likes.

"There were some really classy shoes there and I thought, that’s me (saying) goodbye forever," shared Wendy.

She added that though she is a middle-aged woman in body, in her mind, she’s “a young girl with young girl’s feelings,” wanting to wear classy, heeled shoes during wedding parties and walk outside without shuffling.

This honest opinion is a sign that the effects of gout on women may be deeper and more personal than we think. This article discusses how women are dealing with gout, the role of hormones in the condition, and how natural supplements help support uric acid management, like tart cherry. https://go-out.life/blogs/articles/is-gout-a-mans-disease-learn-how-this-myth-is-affecting-women
