A symptom of gout

summary

Gout is a disease caused by metabolic system dysfunction, but those who know it should be very familiar with it, and the increase of uric acid is one of the significant signs. In recent years, with the improvement of quality of life, the number and incidence rate of gout patients have been increasing gradually. Especially for the middle-aged and elderly, it is a common metabolic disease. I'd like to share with you my views on the symptoms of gout.

A symptom of gout

Asymptomatic stage: as the name suggests, in this stage, patients can hardly have any physical discomfort, and the only indicator to determine whether they have gout is the continuous or fluctuating increase of uric acid content in the blood.

Acute arthritis stage: patients often wake up in the middle of the night because of redness, swelling, heat and pain in toes, ankles, knees, wrists, fingers and elbows. And patients will find that the normal function of these joints has obvious obstacles. When you measure your body temperature, you'll find an increase in temperature.

Gout stone and chronic arthritis stage: swelling, stiffness and deformity will appear in the joints, just like stones, asymmetric and inconsistent in size. It is more common in the ear contour, toes, fingers and other places.

matters needing attention

In fact, our human body has a certain ability of self-regulation and repair, just like small urinary stones. If we drink more water and jump more, there is a great possibility that these stones can be discharged from the body. In order to excrete excessive uric acid in the body, we should encourage patients to drink more water, drink more than 2000 ml of boiling water every day, never drink drinks. Water helps metabolism and excretes uric acid.
