The aim of gout treatment is to reduce the frequency of acute gout attacks, prevent gout stone formation and reduce organ damage. It mainly includes general treatment, lifestyle and diet modification and drug therapy, of which drug therapy is the main modality. General treatment is mainly life intervention. The adjustment of lifestyle and dietary habits of gout patients is the basis of long-term treatment of gout, avoiding high purine diet in life, avoiding high purine foods such as animal offal and seafood, maintaining ideal body weight, drinking more water and keeping bowels and stools open. In addition, patients should achieve a correct understanding of the disease, eliminate fear and build up confidence in treating the disease. Medication is the main treatment for gout. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers, colchicine and glucocorticoids can be used during acute attacks. The intermittent and remission periods require the use of uric acid production inhibitors or uric acid excretory drugs to control uric acid. For patients who already have gout stones or renal complications, relevant treatment is also needed according to the degree of the disease. In addition, Chinese medicine also has a role in the treatment of gout, such as delaying the progression of the disease and reducing adverse drug reactions, but one should not listen to some folklore that Chinese medicine can cure gout. For gout stones that are huge and affect the appearance and joint function can be removed by surgery, or patients with severe joint deformity that affects the function can be corrected by surgery. In summary, the treatment of gout is based on the principle of rapidly relieving joint swelling and pain in the acute phase, lowering uric acid levels in the intermittent and remission phases, and using medication based on life behavior intervention to achieve the goal of reducing acute attacks and keeping the condition stable.
