But the crisis often exists in people's inadvertent, and the original delicious dishes may become a "gout package" that endangers the body in the future. Speaking of "gout", the people who have gone will definitely tremble in their hearts. After all, the pain is really "hard -hearted". After the first time, I never want to come again for the second time.

1. What is gout?

Gout is a disease that causes the purine in the human body during metabolism, which causes related symptoms. Purine oxidation metabolites are what we usually call uric acid. When the uric acid concentration in the body is too high, it will deposit in joints and soft tissues as the blood crystals in the form of sodium salt, which will cause tissue inflammatory response.

The starting part of the gout is often the thumb of the feet. The joints are red, swollen, burning and swelling during the onset, and it will be painful if you touch it. In addition to toes, Achilles tendon, knee, wrist, finger joints, etc. are also part of gout. Acute gout is often manifested as drama pain, and chronic gout can cause joint discomfort or deformity due to inflammation, which causes people's discomfort and affect daily life. What's more, it will cause hypertension, heart disease and other diseases, and endanger life safety.

2. Who is easy to have gout?

It is said that "beer crayfish, gout coming to your home", in addition to people who often eat high purine foods, are it easy to get gout, and who else is also a high -risk group of gout?

The first type of crowd is men. Among the gout patients, the proportion of men and women is about 15: 1, that is, men are more likely to be plagued by gout compared to women. Among them, hormones are an important influencing factor. The estrogen in women's bodies can promote the excretion of uric acid, while the male hormones in men can inhibit their excretion, leading to excessive hyperuric acid concentration, accelerating the accumulation of sodium salt crystals, and spurring gout.

In addition, men are easier to get in touch than women, and drinking can cause gout. Studies have shown that alcohol can generate lactic acid in the human body, and in order to win more rows of vector -urine, it will respond to the excretion of uric acid in the kidneys and cause hyperuricemia. The patients with this disease will cause gout symptoms due to imbalance of uric acid.

Another high -risk group may feel incredible when everyone listened. They are people who like strenuous exercise. As we all know, exercise is good for physical health, but excessive long -term strenuous exercise is not only uncomfortable to the body, but also causes damage to the body. High -intensity exercise often causes a lot of sweat. With a lot of sweat, urine will decrease. This caused uric acid that should be discharged through urine unable to discharge smoothly, and the blood uric acid in the body is in an unbalanced state, thereby inducing the occurrence of gout.

The obese people and middle -aged and elderly people are also the object of gout often "care". They are either due to excessive fat or too old in their bodies, which leads to slow metabolism in the body, and the level of uric acid is too high, causing gout.

3. Treatment and prevention of gout

At present, there are many ways to treat gout, mainly divided into drug treatment and surgical treatment. For acute gout, taking anti -inflammatory and anti -inflammatory drugs can effectively relieve pain. In addition, local cold compresses can help patients eliminate inflammation and analgesics, which is also an effective auxiliary therapy. For chronic gout, if it develops in the gout stones, the crystals need to be removed by surgery to achieve the effect of treatment.

In normal times, the diet of gout patients should also follow the principle of "three lows and one high", that is, low purine or purine -free diet, low -calorie intake, low -salt diet, a lot of water. Adding more restrictions on high -purine foods, eat less high -protein, high cholesterol foods, restrict drinking, and avoid overeating. Drink water frequently, eat more fruits and vegetables, increase the amount of urine (the daily urine volume should reach more than 2000ml), and exercise in moderation to develop a good living habits and exercise habits.

As mentioned earlier, many patients with gout patients were the first toe. This is because the large toe is far from the heart position, the local blood circulation is relatively poor, and the body temperature is low, which makes it easy to deposit uric acid here. Therefore, gout patients can take more hot baths, soak their feet with hot water, and reduce uric acid deposition and improve symptoms by promoting blood circulation.

If possible, physical examinations can also be performed on a regular basis to check the concentration of blood uric acid. Once you find that exceeding the standard, you must choose drugs or change your dietary habits as appropriate to minimize the chance of gout attacks.
