Gout stone softening is not to be drawn out with an empty needle. 1. If the gout stone is softened and extracted with an empty needle, then it will break the gout stone. Once the gout stone breaks, the stone debris fluid will turn into a paste and flow out of the broken area, preventing the skin from healing, which will lead to chronic ulcers and cause infection. 2. The core of treatment for gout stones is still to lower the blood uric acid level to keep it below the target value, thus promoting the dissolution of gout stones. The main drugs are allopurinol and benzbromarone. The medications need to be used as prescribed by the doctor. Therefore, once the gout stone softening is found, it is necessary to consult the hospital in time, and choose the appropriate treatment plan under the guidance of the doctor, so as not to delay the condition.
