Do I still need treatment for gout when the pain is gone?

  It must be clear that gout is a metabolic disorder that cannot be completely cured with the current level of medical care. Many patients often neglect treatment at this stage because their symptoms are not very obvious or they do not feel pain during remission. This is not the correct approach. Once you are diagnosed with gout, you should strictly control your diet and be prepared to take medication for a long time. When gout is not painful, the uric acid level in the body may still be at a relatively high level, just like diabetes, although there is no obvious external manifestation, but the blood sugar in the body is still very high, and long-term high uric acid has great damage to kidney function, such as kidney stones, uric acid nephropathy, and even lead to kidney failure and other serious consequences. Therefore, patients should pay attention to control the uric acid level to prevent gout recurrence and gout-induced organ tissue damage.
