Gout & Prostate - is there a connection?

The doctor wants to do a biopsy of the prostate because PSA levels are high. Shouldn't a CT scan be done first? At the same time, gout has been diagnosed by a different doctor. Is there a connection? I am diabetic with heart problems (with pacemaker) and poor kidneys.

No sure bout gout related to prostate issues. I have gout and no issues so far. As far as a biopsy, do it man. Why take the intermediate step when the biopsy will tell the whole story. Waiting to do this could be a death sentence for you
