Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have studied your case,
Yes testosterone therapy may lead to hyperuricaemia and gout usually involving metatarsal joints of foot.
For gout you may need medicine like zyloric, allopurinol and newer febuxostat you can start then according to blood uric acid level consulting his treating doctor.
Food to be avoided in diet includes –meat and poultry. Alcohol.
Processed Carbohydrates
Processed carbohydrates and sugars take the place of healthy carbohydrates, such as fruits and vegetables, in your diet.
