Why does gout keep flare-up in the same place?Gout always reverses in the same area, and the reasons may be as follows:
Clause. 1. There is a lot of urate crystal deposition in this part, even if urate-lowering drugs are used during the period of gout attack, it only reduces the level of blood uric acid value, and does not remove the urate that has been deposited in the joint, so it is easy to reverse in the original part.
Clause. 2. Daily life habits, such as overwork, mental stress, joint damage, etc., these factors will induce the reversal of gout.
Clause. 3. If there has been trauma to this part of the body, the likelihood of recurrence is higher than that of other parts.
In order to reduce the recurrence of gout in the same area, it is necessary to take comprehensive measures, including dietary conditioning, medication, maintaining a good work and rest time, etc. At the same time, for the urate that has been deposited in the joint, surgery can be considered to remove it, which is more conducive to lowering uric acid.
