It is possible for gout stones to grow in the throat area.
Gout stones are deposits of uric acid crystals that are caused by a disorder of purine metabolism in the body and can occur in several parts of the body. They are commonly found in the joints of the hands, feet, and ears, but can also occur in the throat. Gouty stones involving the throat are rare and can be detected by laryngoscopy.
Gouty stones involving the throat may be accompanied by symptoms such as hoarseness, and can be treated with laryngoscopic laser excision, which requires pathologic examination of the removed tissue to determine its nature. After the removal of the gout stone in the throat area, it is also necessary to cooperate with the doctor to carry out dietary modification, drug control and other ways of comprehensive treatment.
If gout patients also appear hoarse, sore throat and other problems, you can go to the regular hospital rheumatology, otorhinolaryngology and other related departments to improve the relevant examination, to further clarify the condition.
