Spring, when everything is in bloom, is also a time of high incidence of gout. Statistics show that most gout attacks occur during the alternation of spring and summer (March to April) and fall and winter (October to December). Gouty arthritis is caused by abnormal purine metabolism, uric acid crystals deposited in the joint capsule, bursa, cartilage, bone and other tissues and cause damage and inflammatory reaction, mostly seen in middle-aged men, the peak age of onset in 40-45 years old, with a trend of younger; women account for only 5%, mainly postmenopausal women. The onset of the disease is mostly seen in the first metatarsophalangeal joint (also known as the big [toe), but can also occur in other larger joints, especially the ankle and foot joints. The typical presentation is localized redness, swelling, heat and pain in the joint, with severe pain. To effectively prevent gout attacks, you need to do the following: 1. Properly control your diet. The weather turns warm, night market snacks, picnic barbecue attack, beer, seafood, lamb skewers and some other common foods contain a lot of purines, excessive diet, resulting in gout attacks; at the same time, the night market often to late at night, physical fatigue, but also gout attacks promote factors; therefore, the spring should pay more attention to the structure of the diet. Avoid bad eating habits to promote gout attacks. 2, appropriate exercise, but not excessive exercise. Spring has come, the weather has turned warm, flowers and grass, trees welcome spring, people are stuck in a winter, want to come out to loosen up, spring excursions, hiking and other activities, appropriate activities, conducive to the prevention and treatment of gout, but not excessive exercise, otherwise it is easy to cause the joint local and body acidic environment, but promote the gout. 3, drink more water. 2000 to 3000 ml of water per day. 4, regular monitoring of uric acid, regular treatment. Uric acid level should be controlled below 320umol/L. Adhere to medication, patients without uric acid crystalline deposits (gout stones) need to adhere to uric acid reduction treatment for about one year, and patients with gout stones need to adhere to medication for two years, because the average dissolution time of gout stones is 23 months. Doing the above four points can effectively prevent and control gout attacks during the high season.
