1, general treatment
For most gout patients, gout symptoms are only early, and there are no long-term and serious symptoms. Therefore, these people can control gout through general treatment, that is, adjust work and rest and diet structure, and try to avoid the increase of uric acid level in the body, so that gout can be controlled in a good range without serious attack. If properly maintained, patients' gout can be gradually improved.
2. Drug therapy
If gout patients have severe pain attack symptoms, obvious joint deformation, or turn red and purple during the attack, all these indicate that patients need medical treatment. However, because drugs used in drug therapy need to reach the joints of patients through the human metabolic system, the treatment cycle is often relatively long, and patients often need about half a year to gradually control their illness.
3. Surgical treatment
If the symptoms of gout are very strong and cannot be improved after drug treatment, surgery is needed, which is relatively simple, that is to say, uric acid crystals and gout stones in joints can be directly removed through surgery. However, after surgical treatment, the surgical joint still needs a period of rehabilitation to restore its normal function, and surgical treatment is at risk of recurrence.
The above is the treatment of gout. All gout patients need lifestyle intervention, including controlling the total calorie intake, limiting drinking, drinking as much water as possible, and ensuring that drinking more than 2000 ml per day can promote uric acid excretion. If there are drugs that increase uric acid in other drugs currently taken, please pay attention to adjusting the use.
