Can Bad Emotions Trigger Gout



Gout is usually not triggered by bad mood, but it can be triggered by eating high purine food, drinking alcohol and strenuous exercise.

Abnormal purine metabolism or uric acid excretion in the body can lead to an increase in blood uric acid concentration, urate deposition in the joints leading to the disease known as gout. Uric acid level fluctuation is the most common triggering factor for gout, bad mood generally does not affect the level of uric acid, so usually does not trigger gout.

Eating a lot of high-purine food, drinking a lot of alcohol, etc. can make the body uric acid level rise sharply, thus inducing gout. Strenuous exercise, improper wearing of shoes and socks, etc. can lead to local tissue damage, and urate crystals are dislodged, which can lead to an acute attack of gout.

Due to individual differences, the factors that induce gout are not the same, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and be diagnosed by a professional doctor.
