Some people often suddenly feel the frontal joint pain at night, there will be redness and swelling, etc., go to the hospital and found that they have gout, that gout is a kind of disease? Is this disease related to obesity? Why can weight loss surgery help? Gout is a common and complex type of arthritis that can affect people of all ages and is more common in men than in women. Commonly, people with gout experience a sudden onset of joint pain at night. The onset is rapid, with severe pain, edema, redness, and inflammation in the joints, with the pain slowly decreasing until it disappears, lasting for a few days or a few weeks. Studies have shown that there are four general causes of gout: dietary reasons, obesity, taking certain medications, and family history. Gout is not just a single disease, it can be associated with obesity, hypertension, diabetes, lipid metabolism disorders and other metabolic diseases. Obesity is the main risk factor for gout, obesity not only increases the risk of gout, and obese patients with gout onset age is higher, and with the increase of BMI, the incidence of gout is significantly higher, is proportional, especially the human body’s visceral fat is also too high and ventilation also has a close relationship. There are many people feel that gout is due to a large amount of intake of seafood and other foods, as long as the elimination of animal offal and lean meat intake, there will be no purine trouble, it seems that gout and obesity do not have any relationship. But medical statistics show that gout not only occurs mostly in obese patients, and obese patients with gout incidence than others more than 50% higher. However, once obese patients have reduced their weight and returned to their ideal weight, the incidence of gout is greatly reduced. Gastric bypass, as a type of weight loss surgery, is an ideal choice for weight loss. Ordinary weight loss methods are difficult to adhere to, with slow results that may cause delays in the condition, and gastric bypass surgery produces significant results after surgery. The surgery is performed by improving and reconstructing the patient’s gastrointestinal system, lowering the secretion of the hunger hormone, and shortening the absorptive intestinal tract, all at once, to achieve the purpose of weight loss, and also regulates the condition of insulin secretion and relieves insulin resistance. Not only is it a simple weight loss surgery, but it can also treat gout and relieve various complications! Obese gout patients, learn about gastric bypass surgery!
