1. Daily life management:
Gout patients are advised to keep drinking water, avoid sugary drinks and animal high-purine foods, eat more fresh vegetables, and pay attention to regular exercise, weight maintenance, regular work and rest and other lifestyles.
2. Drug therapy:
Under the doctor's judgment, according to the patient's personal situation, choose the appropriate drug treatment, use indomethacin, diclofenac sodium and other drugs to relieve joint pain and swelling, and also use allopurinol, febuxostat and other drugs to reduce uric acid, which is helpful to relieve symptoms and control the disease.
3. Surgical treatment:
If the patient is ineffective in drug treatment, it is recommended to perform surgery at the doctor's judgment. If gout involves the knee joint, clean up the proliferative synovium and the deposited tophus under arthroscopy. If gout stones are deposited on fingers, toes and other places, surgery is needed to clean the tophus to alleviate this symptom.
Patients with gout should pay attention to regular follow-up visits and take active treatment under the guidance of doctors, which is conducive to controlling their illness and generally has little impact on their life expectancy.
