The gout is killing me.

Gout attacks are painful. Gout is a disease caused by uric acid crystals deposited in joints and other tissues due to abnormal uric acid metabolism. Excessive uric acid production or decreased excretion is the key factor. On the one hand, excessive intake of high-purine foods, such as seafood, animal viscera, etc., or abnormal cellular metabolism in the body, can lead to increased uric acid production. On the other hand, uric acid is accumulated in the body due to dysfunction of excretory organs such as kidneys, which cannot effectively expel uric acid from the body. Urate crystals deposit in joints, especially foot joints, which can cause sudden onset of severe pain, redness, fever and other symptoms, which are often unbearable for patients and seriously affect the quality of life. If gout is not effectively controlled and treated, it will repeatedly attack, damage joints, lead to joint deformity, dysfunction. It may also form stones in the kidneys, affect kidney function, and even cause serious complications such as kidney failure. After suffering from gout, first adjust your lifestyle, including low-purine diet, quitting smoking and drinking, drinking more water, etc. At the same time, uric acid lowering drugs are used according to the condition to control uric acid levels. In the acute attack period, anti-inflammatory analgesics are also needed to relieve pain and inflammation. In addition, patients need to regularly monitor uric acid and other indicators in order to adjust the treatment plan in time. Patients with gout must pay attention to the disease and actively cooperate with doctors for standardized treatment and management to reduce pain and complications.
