How can gout sufferers get through the summer safely? Gouty arthritis, referred to as gout, is a metabolic disease, is the highest incidence of middle-aged men a kind of arthritis, is the blood uric acid increased deposition in the joints caused by the joints of redness, swelling and heat pain of a disease. Gout attack first lower uric acid? In the acute attack period, if you take drugs to inhibit uric acid production, but may cause an acute attack of gout. Because after taking such drugs, it will cause a sudden decrease in blood uric acid concentration, so that the long-existing sodium urate crystals in the joints are released and dissolved, and another transient hyperuricemia and gouty attack will occur. Therefore, when acute gout attack, pain relief and anti-inflammatory is the king, and then lower uric acid is the right solution! When to stop uric acid lowering treatment? Many people believe that uric acid treatment should be stopped when the uric acid level drops to normal. In fact, this is not the case! After entering the chronic gouty arthritis course, uric acid lowering treatment is a long-lasting battle, often requiring more than 6 months of treatment! Many people can not adhere to and give up halfway, resulting in the treatment effect is discounted, but blamed on the medication does not work well. In fact, it takes a certain amount of time for the medication to take effect, and you need to communicate with your doctor many times during the treatment to get good results. Gout can not soak your feet, or the more you soak the more pain! Gout is a disease caused by purine metabolism disorder, so that the accumulation of uric acid, mostly manifested as repeated episodes of acute arthritis. In fact, gout is not limited to the joints, but a systemic disease, and diabetes, like metabolic diseases, so the foot soak itself can not solve the problem. If you soak your feet during the onset of pain, instead of stopping the pain, sometimes it will escalate the pain and redness, making the condition worse.

Summer not only to control seafood, barbecue eating, control of alcohol and beverages is also very important. General meat daily intake of about 50g, some seafood and animal offal resolutely can not eat. In addition, purines are soluble in water, so hot pots, stews and broths should be eaten sparingly. Furthermore, alcohol will inhibit the excretion of uric acid, so gout patients must abstain from alcohol, not only beer, white wine, yellow wine, wine can not. Of course, sweet drinks contain a lot of fructose, which can indirectly cause elevated blood uric acid, so gout patients try to drink as little as possible sweet drinks, especially carbonated drinks.

Staying up all night disrupts one’s natural work and rest routine, barely holding on in a state of fatigue, leading to an increase in anaerobic metabolism in the body, the accumulation of lactic acid products, inhibiting the excretion of uric acid, and indirectly increasing the body’s uric acid. Similarly, overwork, excessive physical exercise and hunger can induce increased uric acid.
