Health for All says
Some patients wait until the acute symptoms of gout disappear on their own, and then feel that they have "recovered from a serious illness";Some patients think that gout cannot be cured, so they simply give up**, resulting in a deteriorating condition and even life-threatening ......A similar attitude leads to many patients missing the first phase of gout.
Gout is a systemic disease, and it is very difficult to develop to the extent of tophi and uremia all over the body. So, the sooner the better.
What are the benefits of early treatment
1) During the period of hyperuricemia, there are almost no symptoms except for abnormal uric acid. If you can pay attention to it at this time, the disease can be well controlled, and most of the disease will not progress to gout.
2) In the early stage of gout, urate is not deposited much, and the joints affected are less, so it is less difficult.
3) The harm caused by gout to the human body is systemic, and there are many complications, and the longer the disease, the greater the probability of complications such as gouty nephropathy, and then it will be more than just gout.
4) The sooner**, the time of gout** will be relatively reduced, saving trouble, effort and money.
When gout hasn't hurt yet
**The first good time
When the gout has not yet been painful, it is the period of hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia does not necessarily develop into gout, but a long-term high uric acid will certainly slowly increase the risk of gout attacks.
Therefore, in the hyperuricemia stage, you can start to "seize the opportunity". Accepting the standardized uric acid lowering **, with the improvement of some bad habits, and gradually stabilizing uric acid, can not only greatly reduce the risk of gout attacks, but also try to avoid the damage of uric acid to various organs and tissues of the human body.
The intermittent period after the first attack of gout
** The second good time
Many people don't usually have the habit of physical examination, so they don't realize that their uric acid is high, and they don't realize that their uric acid is high until the first attack of gout. Therefore, for many people with gout, the first good time is the first intermittent period after the first attack of gout.
Gout has a pathological development process, and it is not so serious as soon as it comes up. Patients may not have severe symptoms of inflammation at the time of their first attack, and may initially feel local joint discomfort, soreness, or local** slight redness. At this point, the inflammatory response has already begun, but the peak of pain has not yet been reached. If you don't pay attention, each subsequent episode will become more and more painful.
If you are in the interval between the first one or two episodes, you can be active in time**, you can press this pause button, and the uric acid lowering** will also go smoothly. Moreover, tophi is not formed, urate crystals can be slowly dissolved, the prognosis is better, and the patient suffers less pain himself.
Every intermittent period of gout
** The third timing
If you have a history of gout for several years or even decades, don't be discouraged. At this time, although it is already a very bad time, as long as you want to treat, it is still effective, it is better than giving up completely**.
Gout is not one disease, but a string of diseases. You can think that taking some painkillers can carry the joint pain, but what about serious complications such as uremia, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, etcTherefore, when gout can still be treated, you have to try to treat it.
Then every interval of gout, please come as soon as possible**. The focus is: to regulate the metabolic function of the body, remove tophi, dissolve urate crystals, stabilize uric acid levels, protect kidney function, and reduce damage to joint tissue structures.
Tips. Since gout is a metabolic disease, if the body's metabolic function is not repaired, it is still a symptom rather than a cure. Therefore, don't think that the ** pair of gout is just analgesic, it doesn't hurt now, and it will hurt in the future, so it is necessary to regulate metabolic function, fundamentally reduce the possibility of uric acid elevation, and reduce the frequency of gout attacks.
