Zhejiang Online August 12 hearing “too much mental stress can also induce gout?” Yesterday, Mr. Zhao, a senior worker of a food company in Hangzhou, finally found the cause of his severe pain in his right foot in the hospital. But even with the examination report in hand, he still couldn’t believe the diagnosis. People who socialize a lot are prone to gout Big belly, red face, walking with an external eight, in the ward of Zhejiang Xinhua Hospital, Wang, as the patients call him, always likes to protect his left hand with his right hand. ”His left hand gout, not to mention accidentally touched by people, even by the wind, he was in pain and screaming.” Ms. Li in the next bed quietly told reporters. As the saying goes, “disease enters from the mouth”, this Wang’s gout is also eaten out. ”I came to Hangzhou for a meeting three days ago, and it just so happened that several old friends got together. We are usually very busy with business, and even the time to call is not much. It is not easy to get together, of course, we have to eat a good meal.” Wang said, “We are all dignified people, looking for a hotel, ordered a large table of seafood. I was so happy that I forgot I had gout, a mouthful of beer and a mouthful of seafood, which is not, at 3 a.m., something is wrong, joint pain all over the body, and called the driver to send to the hospital.” Also in the provincial Xinhua Hospital, Mr. Ruan, a project manager of an engineering project, was tossed out of the typhoon gout. ”A few days ago, the weather forecast said that the typhoon would be very big, and I became worried. I built a high-rise, in case there is a flash, it is not good.” Ruan manager said, in order to take care of the project and Hangzhou family, these days, he Hangzhou Ningbo back and forth at least six trips, driving until the hands and feet are weak. It was easy to get through the typhoon, but he was in the hospital. Wang Xinchang, deputy director of the hospital’s rheumatology department, said Mr. Ruan’s gout was caused by excessive mental stress. “As far as our hospital is concerned, gout triggered by mental stress and fatigue only accounts for 20-30%, and the bulk of 60% is still triggered by improper diet.” Wang Xinchang was exposed to cases where the cause was apparently not quite the same as Ying Zhenhua of the provincial people’s hospital. A few meters tall and strong-looking, the fitness coach named Zhang Ming (a pseudonym) could not be as active as usual on his favorite fitness field, but often had to lie in an inpatient bed at Hangzhou Hongkai Hospital. Coach Zhang is 28 years old, like most young people, free to meet three or five friends, Karaoke, bubble bar, often to the middle of the night before going home. But in the past six months, Zhang coach rarely have such a life. “As soon as I go to the bar, my knees will hurt like hell in the middle of the night, just like being cursed.” Coach Zhang said that the first few times, the whole family did not take it seriously, until later frequent attacks, the old had to take time off work, completely unable to work properly, only to go to the hospital for examination, this investigation, only to know that it is a gout. ”Do not think that only the elderly in their fifties and sixties will get gout, now people eat better, more and more young people get gout.” Yu Jianning, deputy director of the Department of Rheumatology, Immunology and Nephrology at Hangzhou Hongkai Hospital, said. ”Diet, mental stress, overwork and many other factors can cause gout. But from the patients I have contacted, it seems that it cannot be said to be triggered by a single cause, but more by a combination of factors that induce gout. Among them, alcohol consumption is the most powerful.” From this point of view, Yu Jianning’s view is closer to Wang Xinchang’s. Gout patients tend to be younger Everyone says that seafood is easy to get gout, so is it more likely for people at the beach to get gout? To this, Wang Xinchang gave a positive answer. Dr. Wang said: “Take the 1980s, the standard of living in mainland China is not very high, there are fewer opportunities to eat seafood, the gout rate was only 0.8-0.9 percent. Then look at the same period in Taiwan, because the sea is on all sides, there are more opportunities to eat seafood, the gout rate is also much higher than the mainland, when it reached 5%.” Currently, nearly three out of 100 Chinese people have varying degrees of gout, and many more have gout precursors detected during medical examinations that require special attention. And because of dietary habits, the gout rate in Europe and the United States is higher than ours, at about 4 percent. ”Gout, like the three highs, is a disease of affluence.” Yu Jianning says that once you get caught up in gout, there is no way to get rid of it for the rest of your life. So, in order to keep yourself away from gout, a reasonable diet and healthy psychology are important. The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the food that has a high purine content, in moderation; if you are already suffering from gout, it is not a matter of moderation, but to keep your mouth shut. At the same time, proper exercise and drinking 1000-2000 ml of water every day can promote metabolism and lower uric acid indicators. Some information shows that after drinking a 500 ml bottle of beer, under the action of alcohol, the body’s blood uric acid immediately doubled. At this time, if you can go to the toilet more often, the excess uric acid will be discharged in time, so that it is also less likely to get gout.
