The reason why some gout symptoms are very serious and some are very mild is related to the patient’s duration of gout, the degree of uric acid elevation, and the timeliness of medication. 1. The time of gout: gout is a crystal-related arthropathy caused by urate deposition, the longer the time of gout, the more crystal deposition, the more joints may be involved, and the more serious the attack may be. 2. The degree of elevated uric acid: the higher the uric acid, the more urate crystals are deposited, and the more serious the attack may be. 3. Timeliness of medication: Gout usually only involves one joint at the beginning of the disease, with symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat and pain in the joints, but the degree of the disease is not serious at the beginning, and it can be cured if it is actively treated at this time. If it is not treated actively after the onset of the disease, it will aggravate rapidly and even spread to several joints, lasting for a longer period of time, and therefore may be more serious. It is recommended to consult a regular medical institution as soon as possible when gout develops, and to be examined and treated under the professional guidance of a doctor.
