The reason why exertion can induce gout may be that exertion can reduce the excretion of uric acid, which in turn leads to an increase in the level of uric acid concentration in the body.
Disorders of purine metabolism and/or uric acid excretion can lead to gout, and common triggering factors for gout are alcohol consumption, high-purine diet, strenuous exercise, and sudden exposure to cold, etc. Autonomic regulation will be disturbed during overwork, causing vasoconstriction of blood vessels including renal blood vessels, and then the patient’s blood uric acid concentration level will increase due to the decrease in excretion of uric acid, which will lead to the triggering of gout.
Therefore, patients with prolonged stressful work or excessive fatigue may induce gout, gout patients are advised to pay attention to the combination of work and rest, avoid staying up all night, daily should drink more water, avoid strenuous exercise and joints cold, strict dietary management, and avoid smoking, drinking alcohol.
Gout patients can go to the rheumatology and immunology department of regular hospitals and other related departments for detailed consultation, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
