Gout can be treated, but not cured. Gout is a metabolic disease, clinically characterized mainly by hyperuricemia, recurrent acute arthritis, and can develop into gouty nephropathy if not treated properly or in a timely manner. Patients with gout need to use anti-inflammatory drugs for pain relief and symptomatic management during the acute pain phase, including colchicine, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and glucocorticoids. After the acute phase has passed, patients need to undergo regular uric acid-lowering treatment, commonly used drugs include allopurinol, benzbromarone, febuxostat, etc. At the same time, they need to control the intake of purine-based foods, especially meat and seafood. In addition, patients can also promote uric acid excretion by drinking plenty of water and alkalinizing the urine. In conclusion, since gout is not an incurable disease, long-term treatment is needed. Patients should improve their bad habits, quit smoking and drinking, exercise properly, eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid strain and cold and excessive weight on joints to reduce recurrent gout attacks.
