February** Dynamic Incentive Program
Menstruation is more than just a "trouble".
Judging from the data, the ratio of male to female gout patients is as high as 20:1, and gout is very typical"Patriarchal"disease.
This is because estrogen can prevent gout attacks.
Men who love animal offal and seafood have a much higher chance of gout, which may be manifested by toes.
It was swollen and painful, and after a physical examination, I found that my uric acid was high.
Although high blood uric acid does not necessarily lead to gout, the higher the blood uric acid, the greater the risk of gout.
Some need to be avoided, while others need to be taken for life.
And menstruation, which makes women feel troublesome every month, is silently protecting everyone when it brings pain to female friends.
Women experience increases and decreases in estrogen throughout their menstrual cycle, and uric acid changes with this cycle.
When estrogen peaks, uric acid drops to its lowest point.
Therefore, women seem to be receiving a natural "estrogen**" once a month to excrete uric acid.
In addition, estrogen can also inhibit the deposition and precipitation of urate crystals and inhibit the action of inflammatory factors, which can counteract the stimulating effect of precipitated urate crystals on arthritis.
But after menopause, women lose this natural "talisman". You need to pay attention to your diet and eat less foods that are high in purines.
Otherwise, after losing menstrual protection, the blood uric acid level will increase significantly, so the probability of suffering from gout will gradually increase.
